The Distance

I long for you so much it causes my heart to ache.
So much at times I'm afraid it may break.
How happy I would be to feel your embrace.
To experience your smile, to see your beautiful face.
How cruel life is that it came to be.
That you belong to another and not to me.
At night, when I'm alone and unable to sleep,
My mind wanders and my heart quietly weeps.
When daylight comes and heralds a new day.
It reminds me that you're not near, but so far away.
Just know I'm grateful to be known as your friend.
And all the thoughts shared with you wasn't meant to offend.
These feelings for you are for no one else to see.
They are locked within my soul, and only you possess the key.
I live for your smile, and would die for your kiss.
If you tell me I'm on your mind, that would leave me in a state of bliss.
But the distance...
