Distance takes us far apart,
And darkens my today,
I have to keep remembering,
You're just a thought away.


When the world is too confusing,
Times are hard to bear,
I pull your precious meaning,
Your bright spirit from the air.


If I sometimes drift into a lonely state of mind,
I gather up the memories of days we left behind.


And though you're not beside me,
I can tap into my heart,
And draw upon the warmth and love,
That lives when we're apart.


And with these fond reflections,
On the times when you were near,
I sense a little bit of what it's like to have you near.
