-- The Distance Between Us --
John Herlihy
The distance between us
As in the span of a bridge.
The distance between us
May take us to the edge.
The distance between us
As stars held ever near.
The distance between us
As touching as a tear.
The distance between us
As close as a hair’s breath.
The distance between us
As empty as nothing left.
The distance between us
Neither near, nor far.
The distance between us
As intimate as a star.
The distance between us
Endless as desert sands.
The distance between us
As wind in meadowlands.
The distance between us
Enchanting as a mountain view.
The distance between
Poignant as the sky’s azure hue.
The distance between us
As music by distance made sweet.
The distance between us
Echoes harmony complete.
The distance between us
Makes you seem as a friend.
The distance between us
At times feels like the end.
The distance between us
As steady as a heartbeat.
The distance between us
Will dissolve when we meet.
