So Far Away

So far away
An ocean apart
I have missed you so much
I can feel it in my heart

Your soft touch and smile so bright
Leave me happy memories that
keep me warm at night

You have made me feel so special,
so happy, and right
I wish you were here right now
so I could hold you close and kiss you good night

So far a way
An ocean apart
Miles away
Yet so close at heart

I look forward to when I may see you again
So this angel that haunts me dreams
may tell me her heart

I wish to hear your voice and
to know that you are near
so we can share out thoughts,
feelings, and fears

So far away
An ocean apart
I have missed you so much
I can feel it in my heart

James O'Neill, Fall 1993
