To Love Her From Afar

To say I missed her wouldn’t quite compare
To how it felt to Love her from afar
‘Tis but to call a purple diamond rare
Or say the sun is but a faded star

For every night I see her in my sleep
Where dreams can turn the darkness into light
And bring to life the memories we keep
Hidden in the secrets of the night

And every morning since that I’ve awaken
Slowly to the sound of breaking day
I find the pillow next to me forsaken
Where once a piece of heaven used to lay

And if my rhymes could touch her distant heart
With tender words repeated from afar
I’d swim the oceans keeping us apart
And kiss her lips beneath the brightest star
