across the distance

distance.
why are you here?
you span the oceans
you create pain
you separate
creating longing
in the hearts of many.

time.
why aren't you on my side?
you control emotions
you heal wounds
you create hope
you hold the answers
to questions unanswered.

faith.
i'll hold you dearly
through the distance
through time
i know you're there
keeping me safe
giving me hope
making me believe.
