No Matter The Distance - Poem 4 by Charity Thomas

Never in my life, have I ever known love the way I love you...
I can feel your arms around me even when you're not near,
I can feel your lips kiss mine even though we are miles apart.
I can hear your voice call to me in the night,
And I can still see your face when I close my eyes.


The warmth of the sun I feel on my face -
is but only your arms in a warm embrace;
The rain falling around me -
is only the tears that you have cried;
And the gentle breeze that blows -
is only your breath intwined in mine...


No matter the distance, I can still feel you.
Your eyes filled with love and understanding,
Your smile lighting the way;
I still feel your arms holding me,
Even though we're miles away...


No matter the distance, no matter the storm,
I know we can make it in eachother's arms.
Look toward the heavens, my love,
and you will see me smile,
For no matter the distance,
I am where you are...


No matter the distance, I love you
With all of my heart and soul;
And no matter the distance, I'll
follow you where ever you may go...
