Is it possible to feel both closer and further away at the same time?

strange dialogue

The words run through me, like a sudden chill blown in on a renegade breeze. I don't quite know what to make of them, but the goosebumps they've raised seem of the ominous and worrisome variety. I question. You answer in riddles I don't understand. I dreamed you in a silence that would have made more sense. I wish we spoke in true time instead of these stop and starts. Maybe then I could make sense of it all. Maybe then I wouldn't be so full of wondering worry. Maybe then the reassurances would seem genuine. Maybe then I could believe you when you say "I'm ok".

maybe...
