How to measure closeness? I stare at your sleeping nose, six inches away, and wish to be twice as close, or more.

Unlike distance which is measured between here and there, let's measure closeness from the opposite end of the universe to the desired object. If I am six inches from your thick eyelids, which trap thoughts as quick as a candle's flame, I am only a hundred million light-years away from the opposite edge of space (less six inches).

To be twice as close all I need is move a hundred million light-years closer.

Less six inches.
