Far From You

It’s been far too long

since that time.

Far too long indeed,

and I don’t know

if I could ever hope

to see you again.

But I linger here,

right where we used to be,

right where we spent

countless nights,

just resting

upon each other’s arms.

Yes, I linger here…

It’s as though any moment

you will suddenly come back,

and you’d sit right next to me.

It’s as though any moment

you’d speak to me,

and I’d hear you say my name again.

It’s been far too long, indeed.

But not long enough

to keep me

from loving you.
