Waiting On a Distant Shore

We’re separated by thousands of miles of ocean.
However, I still can feel your every emotion.
So many pleasant thoughts come from what you have to say.
I feel a stronger bond between us each passing day.

It does not seem too much of a distance anymore.
You feel as if you are closer to me than before.
If you are away for a long period of time,
I miss you very much because you are so sublime.

Each incoming wave takes away some more of the sand.
I can almost hear your voice and nearly touch your hand.
You must be standing on your beach far away.
I wish I could bridge the gap and bring you here to stay.

The sun’s warmth feels cold in comparison to your touch.
That is only one reason why I love you so much.
May a short passage of time bring you closer to me.
What is merely a dream can become reality.

What a heartfelt profession of love for a woman who lives so far away, Robert. Is this Stephanie? You rock with romance, my friend! Love, Carolyn
