Far Away

To be where we are
is not so
far
But closer when
we
see
Pretty words
on a blank screen
leaping to be heard
breathless
to be seen
silent
urgent need
to touch
to hold
the same air to breathe

To be where we are
is not so far
but closer when
we
feel
warm words
on a vacuous screen
fiery thoughts it seems
passionate
to be felt
throbbing
with need
to touch
to hold
to share the same dreams

To be where we are
is not so far
and nearer still
the warmth
of our
words
will be
heard
felt
the touching
real
the passion burning
then
my
love
the air that we breathe
the dreams that we share
will no longer be
so
far
away
