About the Poem
I sat at the computer slowly contemplating how to use my time as I scratched this poem on an old e-mail. I was distraught that my sweetheart had left for a week long excursion to Florida, and this was the result. I truly love her, and I could not stand to be without her.

So Far Away, Yet Always Close |
| by Steve Forsythe |
|
So far away... the beaches which you walk. Yet so close... always in my heart. So far away... I cannot touch your hand, I cannot feel your breath, I cannot hold you close. Yet so close... I can feel you in my heart, I can see you in my mind, I can hear you in my ears. You can go so far away... You can travel to the ends of the earth... But as long as I have your love... As long as I have you... You will always be close. For, As sure as the sun rises, And the tides will change, I will always love you, An you will always be close to my heart. |
