This Interval

I embrace this distance
for in it there is proof
that come tomorrow
the sun will shine as bright
and words we'll savor like honey.

And tonight, We will not cease
to see the same moon
and the stars will still glow
and be equally as vivid.

As our thoughts span an ocean,
bridging this distance
we have yet to erase,
I look toward the heavens
and know that within them
we share a lasting embrace.

And at the hour
when we would meet,
I will stand my vigil.
But not as a man
mourning his loss,
but as one
awaiting his tomorrow.
