"Lost in Distance" is a melancholic reflection on the effects of distance on a once-strong romantic relationship. The distance between the two people is described as a measure of space and time that has become an impenetrable barrier, leaving them with a broken heart. The fading love is likened to the fading memories of a distant past, and the connection between the two grows weaker with every mile that separates them. The poem paints a portrait of a love that is slowly being suffocated by distance, with the emptiness of the space standing in for the void between two hearts.
