Miles may separate us,
but you are always there in my heart.
Words might not be spoken,
but I can never love you enough.
Rain outside my window reminds me of you and
the tears in my eyes that wont pour out.
I brave and get past this.
Every tomorrow brings a little closer your beautiful face.
I love you my dear,
and I long to be in your arms…
