Distance Poem by Anna Andrews

My hearts so lost
I wanna cry
I long to see
That love in your eye
But the distance is
The keeper of time
Not often together
With your arms in mine.
The distance becomes
Silence so loud
Feeling lonely
Within a crowd.
No morning words
To enrich the day
No means of longing
That reach my way
I reach first
I receive a reply
The spark has faded
I don't know why
Barely a sun rise
Always a sun fall
I finally get
That sweet call,
Sadly by then
It's too late
Finer came first
I had to wait

All those wonders
Fade away
When you visit
And whisk me away
You say you love me
Speak the plan
With uncertainty
Of when we can,
I’m wrapped with love
Filled with smiles
Feeling real
For a while
Time is precious
When you are here
Hearts entwine
You seem sincere.
Then you’re gone
And I’m all alone
Waiting for sound
From my phone
Here I am
Yet again
Feeling lost
And wondering when...
