So far so close

In the last few days I strangely experienced once again how distance is relative and how "far" can instead mean "close". And how much is also up to myself feeling that somebody is far or close. At a certain point, I had the impression that all the ones who are far today, were really distant and used to my distance, but then they surprised my with their lovely way of being close. And so I confirmed to myself once again that I've never felt anybody of them really far. They have always been close to me and inside me. And we are still connected.
Then there are people who are presently close to me, for choice or for opportunity, who knows definetly in this strange mission life. They are here and some of them show their support or their worry in a descrete way, between chat and indifference, not to overcome the thin border anyone put around his"real"self.
Other people, who have always been close, even in the distance, are today far, no matter where they are. Surprisingly there is no pain in losing them.
