“So close and yet so far”. Someone said that to me yesterday, and it made me to contemplate on it.
We say it so often, and it can be used for many reasons. What do you think of the statement? What does it make you feel, when you’re using it? I thought about how if you’re near someone physically, whom you “like”, have an attraction to, and they have no feelings for you, you are “so close and yet, so far”. You are worlds away in many respects. But it made me think, am I really even physically close to them then, truly, since inwardly, there is no closeness. If inwardly there is no closeness, are you really near them even physically? I say this because it is almost as if they do not see you physically anyway. But of course at the same time, you cannot deny the reality that you ARE standing right next to them. It makes me sad, when I think on this phrase.
