Love At a Distance

We should be as one,
and although you married me,
you won't share my life.
Did I understand
the meaning of a marriage?
It always meant to me
to have and to hold
until we grow old,
to live safe in a love
that's sent down from above,
complete unity.

But oh, you push me away
every time I draw near.
Do you want it to be this way --
you over there and me over here?

Love at a distance...
I can't live this way.
So much resistance!
Should I walk away?

You say you love me,
but you never show me.
You don't even try
to make me feel good,
and when I need you,
it's always, "Stay away,
don't come too close!"
I'm in love with a ghost.
I can't stand this pain!
You leave me standing in the rain,
you never come to me.

And oh, you push me away
every time I draw near.
I don't want it to stay this way --
you over there and me over here.

Love at a distance...
I can't live this way.
Too much resistance!
Should I walk away?

Could I walk away?
