Proximity
\nby cricketjeff on July 19, 2008.\u00a0 \u00a9 Jeff Green, All rights reserved
\nFour thousand miles of in between is just a step, no more
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 And every night I feel you fall asleep.
\nThe best of friends are everywhere, and you are just next door,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 I know I can be with you with a leap.
\nI could stretch my hand to touch you but I have no need to try
\nFor we’ll always be together while the stars are in the sky<\/p>\n
I spoke to you this afternoon and you’ll kiss me goodnight
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 The miles of in between are never there
\nTo see you clearly I just sigh and then turn out the light
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 You are the friend who’s with me everywhere
\nPlease hold me while I’m sleeping and you listen to each line
\nI’ll hold you tight inside your dreams, you’ll do the same in mine.<\/p>\n
So far away and yet so near, I hear you in my mind
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 Your voice is just an echo of the breeze
\nWe walk on different pathways yet I feel you close behind
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 I love the way you’re hiding just to tease
\nSweet dreams my next door neighbour who’s four thousand miles away
\nIn my heart I am beside you and I see you every day<\/p>\n
Author notes
\nThe reason for writing this is first being too stupid to lie down and go to
\nsleep and secondly a Khalil Gibran quote:-
\nA friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is
\nnot the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing
\nthrough the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
