There’s no way I can show you-

Just how much I love you,

Standing here on another shore-

Measuring the distance in my heart,

As I watch the tide rise and fall.

I leave my footprints alone in the sand-

Soon to be washed away by the wind and waves,

While I listen for the whispers of your voice

In the warm evening breeze that rolls off the ocean,

As I catch them one by one and place them in my mind.

I sit in the darkness and listen to the waves-

Seeing only the whitecaps as they tumble to the shore,

I look up at the stars - waiting for one to fall,

Knowing that it will take more than a wish

To make this loneliness in my heart go away.

I stand up and face the ocean-

Blowing you a kiss across the starlit sky,

Hoping that in the morning you will awaken

To find it still fresh upon your cheek,

And know that I sent my love.
