Half A World Away Poem by Cynthia Aluning

The sweetest man I ever knew,
could hold me with just his fingertips,
as they printed words upon a screen,
I could almost feel his lips.


there were many times he touched me,
with just the gentle stroke of a key.
sometimes when I was lost and couldn't see
he's my consolation for a reason to live


he brought joy and laughter into my life,
in a way I had never known.
because of his humour and twisted side
I feel inside I got drawn


the question, just this simple,
is how I feel this way?
even so I can't explain it,
he's half a world away.


it appeared to vast and scattered space,
it seemed we couldn't fit,
but every time he sees the smile upon my face
he rose with new commit.


he always says he feels the same way
so I'm lookin' forward to that day
when all these confirmed in reality
becomes in all our actuality....


just as long as we have love we do not give up
all we need is trust and a holding faith to keep up
distance in between...so long and always so far
while we remain separate, we still wish upon a star!
