In distance We Now Remain

by Libby M   Jan 19, 2005


I close my eyes
And I drift away
Into a different hour
Into a different day
I close my eyes
And There I see you
Standing tall, and
Handsome as always.

I’m finally here-
Your only few
Steps away-
We are breathing
The same Godly Air.
I am close enough
To touch you-
But we both know
I can’t.

You are so close-
Yet so far away.
I begin to wonder
How did I ever
Reach this place again?
I’ve closed My eyes
So many times before-
Beside you I always laid
But this time-
I am farther-and I don’t
Seem to understand.

I close my eyes-
And there you stood
With a smile-Stretched
From ear to ear.
I smiled back-You refused
To look away...
And As I approached you...
As I held you-I saw you
Holding her instead.

I closed my eyes again-
And as a shadow I saw
Myself.
Standing beside you-
You don’t even seem to
Care...
I am here-You are over there
We are miles apart
Because a year ago-
They announced me dead.
