Our 4th of July Together, But Apart

Today we celebrated the 4th of July together
At least we kind of celebrated the day
In a strange and detached sort of way
Starting off with the neighborhood breakfast
Followed by the parade down mainstreet
I enjoyed being close to you
And even interacting with you
Although it was apparent
That you didn't feel the same
Which left me feeling quite lame
As in stupid and dumb
And even worthless
My life becoming with each day
More of a mess
And so as we were together
Yet so far apart
The only fireworks of the day for me
Were in my mind as I gazed at you
And desired you and your love
Oh, how these past two weeks
Have been torture and hell
Being so close
Yet apart
Certainly not the best way
To celebrate the 4th of July
It could have been such a great day
But all I wanted to do
Was cry . . .
