I Need You So Much Closer

There are few phrases that upon hearing, can make a person feel so much joy, yet so much sadness. I miss you is one of these phrases.

Those people were overjoyed; they took to their boats.
I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat.
The rhythm of my footsteps crossing flood lands to your door have been silenced forever more.
The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row, it seems farther than ever before.
I need you so much closer.
