Distance

The only consolation I see
for all the miles between you and me

is the bittersweet star and melancholy moon
the same ones staring back at you

and the air ‘round you is the air I’m in
a sea in which I’ll drown or swim

and the breath you take is a breath from me
shared, as we’ll always be

But please don’t stop,
absorb those sights,
I’ll see them in my dreams tonight.
