Distance is a nightmare

Distance is a nightmare

It follows me

It stalks me

It haunts me everywhere

I go.

I see a road in my dream

The sign reads your name

But it never leads to you.

Desires, wishes, longing

My fellow travelers

Got tired and abandoned me

Long back

On my journey to you.

I reached the end of the road

But where are you?

The mirror of my dream is broken

I collect the pieces

Of my dream

Each one reflecting

A different person in it

I am split into all of them

I keep fixing all pieces together

Before your arrival

But all in vain.

I am falling apart

On my journey to you.

If you ever walk that road

Quench my fellow travelers

My desires, wishes, longing

And bring them along with you

The puzzle of my life is unfinished

Do collect those pieces

Of my dream

I lost on my way to you.

I am reduced to my name

Come to me

With your holy verses of love

And exorcise me of this nightmare

Distance is a relentless nightmare

It follows me everywhere

I go.
