The Distance

your name is the distance between life and death my own existance my next breath your name is the distance between laughter and tears my reason for happiness the cause of my fears your name is the distance between nothing and everything the matter of my hopes the substance of my dreams your name is the distance between love and life your name is the distance between man and wife
