Yours From a Distance
I have loved you faithfully though I tried to forget you.
There has never been another.
Your friendship has meant everything to me:
My hopes, my dreams, my courage,
My lifetime of memories given meaning.
They all point to you.
I can’t even imagine my life without you there,
A shadow though you seem to be.
The living shadow in the back of my mind
That I am always reaching for,
That I am always waiting for.
You have become a hero to me.
And I have fallen in love with all your good intentions,
Beautiful and misunderstood.
As long as I live and I love you correctly
I would be shamelessly yours.
And until the blessed time comes,
I will remain silently yours from a distance.
