For Kristan,
From Douglas
The Nearness Of You
My Thoughts Are With You Tonight
although we are miles apart.
the distance only embeds my love
for you deep with in my lonely heart
To understand this feeling,
that I cannot ask you to do.
However, please have compassion for me,
and this love I have for you.
My sadness is for not being
near enough to prove this is real.
Yet a feeling of happiness
for knowing that one day
I will get to share with you
the tenderness I feel.
As I lay here my body aches
for your nearness.
I long for the sound of your
voice and the touch
of your skin next to mine.
Just to see your face
and feel your warm embrace
would take away all that time has given.
And make this life of mine
worth living
again.
