Across This Great Distance
We've been standing in the cold
For so long
And I've been failing to tell you
I still love seeing your face here
Failing to comfort you in those tears
Will you soon forget my love?
The saltwater streams
you keep under your eyes
Don't caress you like I did
Tracing memories upon your skin
As we worked through everything
Will you soon forget my face?
Memories of the mind
Are pictures on paper
Burned beyond shreds
By a world on fire
Will you soon forget my voice?
When all you hear is the wind
carrying the echoes
of my last three words
Until they become a gentle breeze
This feeling of grief
Isn't just you feeling blue
It is a measure of our love
Across this great distance
And I want you to know
I feel it too
