Refreshing

There are times when the distance between us

seems like a feathery whisper that dies the moment it lives,

and then I yearn to hold you and sing to you and love you tightly.

But tonight you're the full four hours away on foreign roads

and I don't feel I can drive tonight.

Can I tell you how wonderful I feel without guilt of knowing you're miserable?

The newness of the air around me is warm, comforting.

But tonight I promise to dream of you and maybe you'll dream of me.

And the road won't be as long anymore, and the air will be cool, crisp and

refreshing.
