"Across the Miles That Keep Us Apart" Each dawn I wake to your empty side, The pillow cold where your head should lie; My fingers trace the space you hide, And reach for you beneath the sky. The stars we watch from different lands, The same moon lights your face and mine; I hold your name within my hands, A warmth that helps my heart to shine. Your laugh echoes in every breeze, Your voice lives in each falling rain; I count the days with trembling ease, 'Til I can feel your touch again. For love is not in being near, But in the thread that binds our souls; Through every distance, doubt, and fear, It grows and makes my spirit whole.
