If you did go at 99.999999% or whatever 10 light years away means basically no time for you. That's how time dilation works. Or, from your subjective experience, the faster you go, the shorter the distance. If you go REALLY fast, the distance shrinks to nothing. Those two perspectives are the same way to think about the same underlying time/distance transformation that happens.
