Oceans Apart

Oceans apart, I feel not whole My heart is missing, it lies with one soul She guards it true and treasures it's place To her it means more than just a face Across the sea I do the same I hold the heart that bears her name I hold it gently, and treasure it so For it belongs to my loving doe Though we are apart, we are close Our love is one that draws us near A love more precious than the purest rose One that makes the storms of life clear She is the siren that has lured me close And I the sailor, now away from my boat Her sweet voice a song that no one knows And I sit there in my trance, on the clouds I now float She is my angel that keeps watch over me And I the shepherd, quietly watching my flock Her company is something that fills me with glee By the end I can only smile, unable to talk She is my mermaid that no longer eludes me And I the fisherman, silently gazing at the waves Her beauty is something that has set my heart ablaze Without her in my life I simply cannot be Now I am closer, easier to see And our love stronger still No longer separated by the sea The hole in my chest starting to fill I am closer to her, closer than I have ever been And I treasure my gift even more, knowing it's true worth She is the the world to me And I to her
