Distance is in the way

You have to make room for it
Under your roof

Without giving yourself away.

    Distance is
    in the way you have to make room for it

    Without giving yourself away (= depleting yourself and/or revealing yourself)

    Lovely....

    You comment was stupidly mistaken for "spam" by Blogger and I just now discovered how stupid I am for not checking my spam box more often; your comments--insightful as ever--deserve my belated thanks.
