Distance Between Us

By Bruce Clifford

There’s a distance between us.
You’re the one who I do trust.
If I ever could fly across the sea.
I always imagine sharing the same space, you, and me.

A million reasons why.
When I think about this I tend to cry.
At night when I dream, there is always a you and me.
When I awake, there’s a distance between us.

The first time we met it was like I was struck by lightning.
From that moment on, I’ve been a changed man as I carry on.

We laughed when we went on camera.
My heart was beating out of my chest.
Just to see your every movement.
Your smile is always the very best.

Sometimes this is so very hard for me.
As we live apart from far across the sea.
There’s a distance between us.
You are the one who I love and trust.

There’s a distance between us.
Time and space and this great divide.
Having you in my life is the greatest plus.
I love your heart, your smile, and your eyes.

A million reasons why.
When I think about this I tend to cry.
How I always wish there could me a forever you and me.
It’s sometimes a lot to take with all this distance between us.

I would never give up on you.
There’s never been anyone more beautiful.
There’s a distance between us.
I love you more than words can express.
