BEING APART
I think about you being so very far away,
and my heart feels as though it will break.
The deep love I have swells up inside me,
and being apart becomes too much to take.
I long to reach out and hold you so close,
and feel your loving arms also around me.
But my outstretched arms can clasp only air,
and I feel cheated from you by the dividing sea.
It's so very hard being this far apart from you;
not even to see the beauty of your smile.
If love was all that I needed to swim to you,
I'd have more than enough love, for every mile.
My heart aches from wanting to be with you,
and to share this beautiful love we both feel.
I hold on to knowing our day will soon come,
and all of our dreams made, will become real.
