≥How Far Away≤

July 12, 2000

You know that place that boasts of sand,

Where sunshine lives, that no-manπs land?

The next time you will hear from me,

Thatπs how far away Iπll be.

You know that time before we met

When your existence wasnπt set?

The next look from my eyes youπll see,

Thatπs how far away Iπll be.

Remember us, along the beach

When we had everything in reach?

When memories flood instead of flee,

Thatπs how close to you Iπd be.

For me, however, that wonπt work

For thoughts of you hide in some murk.

Tonight, allow my mind to see

How far away this thought will be.

Iπll think of you, for I do still,

Yet feelings fade as their time will.

Our thoughts and times Iπll hold with me,

But guess how far away theyπll be?

I wave goodbye with none returned

And think of thoughts that might have burned

Had I not buried you in me

And showed you just how far away Iπd be.
