A glance away

June 17th, 2006 admin Posted in Poetry |

With a trembling hand I dare to write
of the day we both shall reunite.
Your smile will be but a glance away
sunny and blue, while the sky may grey.
The days of phone calls draw to a close,
long weekend flights and luggage woes.
The end approaches for goodbyes that ache,
and for promised that are easy to make,
yet hard due to the distance keep,
and the constant hunt for tickets cheap.
The day is close, the end near.
Though a beginning it will be, I fear
it shall come and take a part of me,
and a part of you, leaving but a memory.
Sweet beginning, yet a sad day,
when your smile will be but a glance away.
