Still Apart
AMK
3/15/02

Lost in dreams of you
I am caught in between the then and now
Tears sting my eyes as they slowly fall
You are my lifeline...but you are not here

I can hear you calling my name
Somewhere in the distance
But I can not see you
Here I stand waiting for you to come back

The cold sheets serve to remind me
That you are there and I am here
I fight back the urge to scream
My mind racing with thoughts at breaking speeds

I want to smash something
The anger and pain inside refusing to subside
Your angelic face before me teasing me
I shut my eyes wishing the pain to go away

The phone rings and it's you
Your voice that of an Angel on the other line
I hang on with a strand of sanity
Remembering what it felt like to have you in my arms

Then I fight to get a grip
Reminding myself that this is not permanent
This is just but a milestone that we must cross
In order to be together

So why does it feel like forever
As though time has stopped
I look up at the clock
Trying to will the minutues to increase their speed

Each second that passes
Puts us that much closer together
And then cold reality hits again
We are still apart

"just because someone doesn't love you as you'd like them to, does not mean they don't love you with all their heart"

Amy,
  
       Awww, this I can definately relate to.  It is so hard when all you want is to be with the one you love

Hugs,
