Far Away…Up Close
Wrapped in each other’s arms
I felt you up close,
the hearts of two friends becoming one.
I tried to memorize
the smell of your skin,
the feeling of our love,
the reflection of moonlight on your hair.
I did my best to hold on to these
knowing that soon they would fade away,
knowing that each hour closer to morning
took you further away from me.
Up close,
I said a prayer of thanks
that we could have this time together,
then waited for the new day
to take you far away.
