How is it that an object A moving faster than another catches up to it and overtakes it and yet when you really stop to think about it if the slow object is in front then it should stay in front?

MY LOGIC........by the time that a faster moving object gets to the point where the slower object was the slower object will have moved from that point to some point further ahead.no matter how close the faster object gets there will always be a dis tance between it and the slower object,a distance which if covered will result in a new smaller distance between the two but the distance,mathematically speaking should always be there..
why isn't this the case???????????????
