From afar

One day, not too long from now

There will be a time for you and I.

I will welcome it with a deep bow

For it will flash before my eye.

I really don't know how to say it,

But that time will never be

Since you'll be out there to find love

And I will no longer be.

I know I haven't the strength

To look back at you, ever.

Between us there's a length

That I'll be facing, never.

I imagine you are happy

And you have someone to dance with

And I know he isn't sloppy

Or someone to break legs with

One more time I wish to see you,

To confront you for your crime.

I will hug and squeeze and kiss you

For you have changed my life.

Feelings for you, I have thousands

Long and short, new and direct.

From the shore to the horizon:

You are beauty, you are perfect.
