Long distance BFF

Haunt me with memories

While you linger in my space

And let me plague you just the same

As you remember my embrace.

For you are here even when you aren't

And your presence is etched into my life

Indelible, regardless of time.

This is no malicious haunt

These feelings bear no poltergeist

But I am taunted all the same

By a joy I know too well.

And by a joy I know I must wait to feel again.

As our lives merge

This longing will grow

But every separation will hurt less

As the certainty of meeting again solidifies

So we can bid a tearless farewell

Just as we did today.

The drops falling alone will dry

Sure enough

When the time comes

To wake from this dream

We mustn't remain sleepless

Until we can rest again

Hand in hand.

For you will feel my hand

As I feel yours

Entwined, at the back, the arm, or on a shared glass

Even all these miles away.

So we needn't stay awake so long.
