So Far Away
So close, yet so far away
One wanting the other
The other wanting the one
Nothing feels right without him
Nothing feels comfortable
Longing and longing for what she knows she can’t have
Aching hearts pass by without a sound
Yearning desires linger in the moonlight
Shadows of their image dance for the insomniac’s mind
Needing the closeness
Embracing the moment of their togetherness
His smell circles ‘round
