~~~
You're so far away
Yet feel so close
You're always in my heart
So much it aches, with little pulse.
~~~
I care so deeply
Yet I just found out your name
How are we going to do this?
I have only myself to blame...
~~~
If I had stayed away
I would have been safe
But I took the wrong path
And now I pay.
~~~
The safety I long for
Can be found in your arms
So strong, so wonderful
I wish they could always be around me.
~~~
I fall too easy
I fall too quick
I will count on you
To catch me this time.
~~~
So many miles between us
And so many girls
Will you stay with me?
Or be lost in the hateful, raging sea?
~~~
Please don't be
By Jess.
