Distance.

Whisper through the silence,
Help me hear you,
Yell over the crowds,
Let me be near you.

My heart is breaking,
Because of distance,
You’re so far away,
So far away.

I hear you say my name,
You’re screaming in vain,
I cannot hear you,
Need to be near you.

Distant lands,
Far off counties,
You, and me
So far apart.

My hand reaches out,
Your not their to hold it,
Not they’re to help me when I fall,
Not there to help me when I call.

Why is this?
Why can’t you be here?
I want you to be near,
I can’t bare this.

I reach out for your hand…
I grab at air…
Looking down at my hand…
I see your ghostly hand their.

You and me forever,
Echoes in the air,
You and me forever,
Echoes near.

Distance holds us back,
Tell me what I lack,
I want to hold you in my arms,
Want to be held while the storm calms.
