It’s been a long time since we spoke
And I have missed you very much.
Know that you never left my thoughts for long
As precious memories of you always made me smile.

At times you sensed my longing for you
And would send off a note.
A brief reminder telling me
I am always in your heart.

In those months that you were gone
We grew so far apart.
Forgetting who we are
To ourselves
And each other.

So now you are the east
And I am the west.
In the center is this bridge
That spans our divergent worlds.

Hesitantly, we test the time worn boards
Built on a foundation
Of darkened pasts.
Creaking under suspicious agendas.

Can we manage to cross
Before time expires?
Will you come to me
…me to you.
Will we instead meet
In the middle.

You are so far
And yet so close.
Mon amour, oui.
