When peace cannot be found
and sleep wont visit me at night,
I think of all the times we shared,
of holding each other tight.
With a restless mind I walk the
floor and call your name,
but a deafening silence is my response.
The days we spent together and
the endless nights on the phone
are now replaced by lonely times,
unhappy and alone.
Thoughts of you constantly fill my
mind--your face is all I see.
I wonder who you might be
clinging to instead of me.
Though letters can carry hope
and strength and bring ecstatic smiles,
I can't help noticing the distance
is worlds apart across
the longest miles.
The wealth of the memories
you left reminds me
how very far apart we are.
Oh, how I would give the world
just to be where you are.
