From a distance

I must love you from afar

Stare at your picture

As I stare at the stars

Knowing they truly do exist

It’s just I cannot touch you

Just like I cannot touch them

Never the less I reach out to them

With this heart of mine

I yearn to be among them

To fly up into that azure sky

That changes from day to night

Just as the light changes

And I see them sparkling

Where before the sun shone

I know you are waiting for me too

This knowledge keeps me going

This calm assurance within my heart

That tells me it will all come to pass

Just as the stars shine

Up there in the massive Milky Way!
