How to break this prolonged silence

That seems to increase this unknown distance

There is so much to say

But my mind has gone in disarray

---

From where do I start

How I wish this time could come to a halt

For, this will give me the courage to speak

However, the fear of losing you makes me weak

---

What can I do to alleviate the situation

All these emotions are new to me

I thought I had mastered the art of communication

Alas, much work remains to be done

---

You are so near, yet so far

I cannot bear the thought of being apart

I want to be able to share my life with you

How do I determine what to do?
