much too far

As I close my eyes to sleep I see your face materialize

You’re so close yet so far, right before my very eyes

I want to touch you and hold you and hear your laughter in the air

I hate the distance between us! Being far is so unfair!

I long for your touch and the healing powers of your words

For the day we get back together, the day our bodies merge

In that hug I’ve been craving for far too long

I can’t take this anymore! It’s too hard to be strong

I just want to crumble into your waiting embrace

To be close to you and next to you and be able to see your face

With my eyes and not my visions or my dreams

A very simple request is what it seems

I just want to be near you
