Sometimes I wonder

Sometimes when the days and nights that separate us

Stretch out, an endless void

When the distance becomes torturous

The ache, unbearably real

And the embrace of cold air

Cuts deeper than a knife


I begin to wonder how will I get through

This day, this week, this month without you

Why do our souls entwine wondrously,

When we can’t meet

Why do our bodies yearn so longingly,

When the simplest touch is denied


Yes ours is a bonding of souls

In this life, our bodies far removed

But in every life, we will seek each other

Ceaselessly journeying together

On this path, with petals strewn over stones

Finding love, as the light grows
