Lover's Lament

ever so close...
and yet so far away

hearts bound by strings so strong
that each feels the other's pulse
knows their mood
how they feel
ever so close...
and yet so far away

happy together
sad together
wishing together
dreaming together
ever so close...
and yet so far away...

the lover's lament
is heartfelt for each
in the painful knowledge that they are
ever so close
and yet so far away
