Distance takes us far apart And darkens my today. I have to keep remembering- You're just a thought away. When the world is too confusing, And times are hard to bear, I pull your precious meaning Your bright spirit, from the air. If I sometimes drift into A lonely state of mind, I gather up the memories Of the days we left behind. And though you are not beside me, I can tap into my heart. And draw upon the warmth and love, That lives when we're apart. And with these fond reflections On the times when you were near. I sense a little bit of what, It's like to have you here.
