Long Distance Relationship

I lie here sleepless,

these summer nights

the loneliness engulfing me

empty hands pray with all their might

close my eyes, so tightly that they  burn

and try to feel you somewhere in this world

if I concentrate hard can I imagine you here...?

wrapping arms around shoulders fingertips wiping tears.

Parcels and letters shipped across seas

hoping somehow they'll bring you closer to me

I've spent hours watching your face through a screen...

I've learned all your quirks and I've studied you completely.

You've shown me where it hurts the most

your heart so broken it tears at words

Soul so pure, I can't help but cry for you

and hope that when you're here I can fix all you've been through.

Distance means nothing in matters of the heart

It doesn't matter if we're miles or worlds apart

I'll get you to me somehow in some way

It may take years, or only a few days...

I'd sail across oceans, travel the stars

For that day, you'll be safe in my arms.
