Our level of contact
cannot erase the distance I feel
Side by side I notice
the distance deeper still
To see you is to heal
To see you is to ache
Between the two mediums
I give, and I take
Pieces of you woven
into my heart, fibers stretched
threads span the miles
your name forever etched
To you I give answers
Questions untold
Familiar face mirrored
Remembered arms to hold
May my staying
Bring light to my leaving
Open tears boldly
Embrace both our grieving
Yes, may my staying
Bring light to my leaving
I stand waiting ....
Eyes wide open, and dreaming
