E

lying here alone, my thoughts again turn to you.
where are you now, this very minute,
     are you thinking of me?
do your arms feel as empty as mine?

where do we go from here my love?
you live so far away from me and i from you.
how do you build on dreams so very far away?

the only thing we hold, other than dreams are phone receivers.
it's not the "next best thing to being there", it's only
a reminder
of how damn lonely being in love can be!

i need you here, with me, not for just one weekend every month
or two, but daily.
waking up each morning, side by side.

i think i could make it if you were here, beside me..........
why aren't you?

                            Shadow
