Almost Home

<> We're miles away, though at times I can honestly forget. Love spans great distances, and can make the journey that much easier.

Two thousand miles may as well be ten;
with as far as we are apart

Distance is an ocean, though there is none in-between
I hold you close from afar,
 Still wishing to be where you are

Yet I hug my pillow to my chest
and smile to an empty room,

Because I know that I have a home,
and that I'll be there soon

This temporary place is my ghost,
intangible like the distance that separates

me from you;

But, my love, I'll be home soon.
