Love At A Distance

Waiting for the clock to tick
Yet it ticks all around the dial
Dreaming of your beautiful face
That I haven't seen for a while.

How much longer can it feel
My eyes well up with tears
What if something stops you coming
This just adds to all my fears

A few weeks feel like an year or more
Surely this is hell on earth
I miss you darling do you know how much?
Every second I cherish your worth.

We share so many phone calls
But they can't nearly replace
The feeling of your loving arms
In our warm and tender embrace

The power of the love we feel
Makes our days together fly
So much in so little time
When you leave I have to cry.

I know that you'll be back soon
Though it doesn't heal the pain
Of all the waiting I'll endure
Until you're here with me again...
