The Gap

Span me this empty space
Beside me, as I turn to share
A thought, a moment, some fleeting looks

Too wide this gulf that splits
The aching gap, a distance real
Missing words, to fill unspoken books

Typed out text assuage
Where you are, where you can be, not
But it is just limited relief

Echoes of memories
Living dreams that reach out to touch
Acceptance, unwavering belief
