So Far, So Close

All the beautiful things so far away..
Distant clouds,
Distant lands..
Distant sounds,
Distant lights
Distant sights..

All the friends so far away..
Distant laughs,
Distant walks,
Distant fights,
Distant gossips

All the noise so close,
All the fears so close,
All the falls so close,
All the losses so close..

I still try to look beyond,
I still try to shut the noise out..
I still try to fight my fears..
I still try to smile as I walk home in the cold winter rain..
