As the shimmering night settles in
I can feel you close
even though you’re far.
The dark blankets me
with the comfort of a world
turned small and intimate
Where the brush of the wind
through an open window
feels like your breath
skimming softly over my skin
Your eyes watch me
across endless miles
and the memory of your deep warm voice
makes me sigh with contentment
Close even when you’re far
I carry the warmth of you inside me
