Distance

As we distance ourselves further
I can feel the pain receding
But the memories are still vivid
And I recall your sweet smell

I cant get you off my mind
 Its a purpose not worth defeating
If I could hold you in my arms again
My heart would simply melt

Your smile flashes through my dreams
Like it does when you smile as we greet
Your eyes penetrate my thoughts
Like they did as we danced

Your voice is that of the Angels
Hearing you laugh is a treat
You send me down memory lane
With as little as a glance

You sent me up a million miles
On the day you said yes
You sent me reeling on the day
You placed the rose on my chest

Your dazzling skin shone so brightly
Reflecting your elegent dress
So much allurement at one time
My eyes needed a rest

I look back now on the fun that we had
And also the fun that we missed
In hindsight i can say now
That I made many a mistake

But if we did it over again
I wouldnt change but a small twist
If I would have kept you closer
Maybe I wouldnt feel so much pain
