My arms ache to hold you near
but my mind remembers all the miles between.
My lips feel that you aren't here to kiss
but my heart can't reach that far.
How can you be so far away
and yet so close?
How can I need you so much
and yet have to realize you are out of my grasp?
How can love be so possible
if love-making is not?
Why us?
Why now?
Why like this?
Why the pain?
When will it stop?
We both want.
We both need,
and yet neither of us gets
or gives
because we can't.
"If only..."
"I wish..."
we say,
but the miles remain long
and as cold as the lonely nights.
for you my love
