Jaded lovers

So far away yet I feel you,

so close to me as I breathe.

The way you speak to me endlessly,

as waters come to an end.

Your name means more to me now,

when the shadows say I love you.

Light has a way with your eyes,

spreading across my heart.

Touching the very reasons we dance,

hours apart yet closer than before.

There is a softness in your smile,

captivating me in all that you are.

Tasting the wine on your kiss,

sent from a distance my love.

Jaded before ever knowing,

facing together the light we create.

Undone song of desires reaching out,

to be love, to find love, to know we are one.
