The scent of your hair gently wafts my way - You are close - yet so infinitely far! Your image in my mind is night and day, But how to reach and touch a distant star? The heart is aching, but the mind is weak And all the space between us is my cell - To only lift my hand and touch your cheek! - Is but a dream to dream and within dwell. Is there love, waiting hidden 'neath the veil Of distant air? Is the chill of your glance But a rampart around your soul, the mail To guard your heart against my only chance? Oh, you said yes once, but I was a fool, My tears now at your feet a crystal pool. CG |
