So far away

Though I can hear your sweet voice,
It touches only my mind.
I cannot soothe my desire
For your loving touch

I times of pain and loneliness,
When I reach for you.
I am left only reminded
Of the distance between us.

So talk to me,
But feel my sadness
For I allow myself to forget
The cold hard truth.

I could swear you’re beside me,
And yet in reality, you are miles away
And it hurts me to realize how
You are so close, yet so far
