Miles between us --
Hours.
I sit here waking
While you sleep,
I hold you in my mind
Because my arms cannot.
Nothing of you
But memory.
I remember,
Terrified that you will forget.
I dream of kisses
My lips cannot feel
I look at the sea,
The great division,
Too wide to bridge with more than words.
And so, I wait for words.
It's not enough.
