I think of the last time I held you.
It wasn’t all that long ago.
I am wondering how
You are doing right now.
I wish there was some way to know.
I look at the stars through the window,
Remembering how long it’s been.
Then as I pull down the shades,
The memory fades,
And I’m left without you again.
Even so, we are always together,
Even when we are so far apart.
I could never forget you, not ever,
For you’re always right here in my heart.
Now each night I find as I’m sleeping,
That I’m holding you in my dreams.
There is no need for tears,
Because you are near.
I can’t believe how real it seems.
