So Near Yet So Far Apart

So Near Yet So Far Apart

A Poem by David O Whalen (O Haolin in Celtic)
"

Faint of heart

"

So Close Yet Far Apart`


So close...so very close

and yet so heartbreakingly

Far away


So near...so very, very near

That I can hear...my dear

Each whispered word you say


So slim...so very slim

The chance you’d ever deign

To dance with me


So shy...so very shy am I

Perhaps twas ne’er

meant to be


So painful… so very painful tis

To hold you so very close

To my heart


So lonely...and only...

but only...in my dreams

it seems


So near...so very near

We seem

So close yet

...So far apart...
