Near Enough

I think only this when grieving
how long we've been apart -
That I gave into your keeping
my long-devoted heart.

When darkness gathers around you
and storm clouds threaten ill,
When there's no one there to hold you -
you'll know I always will.

When sunlight dances on the sea
and wavesong fills your ear,
My heart will leap within your heart -
you'll know I'm always near.

When you lay down to take your rest
with our star high above you,
Remember with the nightwind's touch
I'm near enough to love you.

This wasn't written for me and even I feel soothed by it.
Something like this could lull a person into love and comfort so well..
I love this.

Always, Alyssa
