Path lined with sagebrush and honeysuckle

Comfort and colour they give

You provide more colour,

Even from a million miles

And I want you home

Bonds bored by contact

Bars borne of distance

I wish you were close by

Pictures offer less respite

Memories bring slight smiles

I told you to stay away

I didn't say a million miles

I'll write messages on the beach

And watch the waves send them to you

Love blowing from the ocean

Tick tock, tickety tock

The time draws out

The distance draws nearer

I'll see you again,

I hope you want the same.

Distance
