so far away
the night is bittersweet
unaccompanied with your homely presence
without warning
my thoughts return to you
we rise and fall
as the tide becomes inevitable
sometimes chaotic
and yet
a calming pulsation
that will always wash away the doubt
we grasp for a constant reality
that knowing we share the same sky
and the same time
and if all allows
the same red string binding us together
we push and pull
as the windows close
and the doors lock
and yet
neither becomes afraid
instead a quiet reassurance
that will ease away the doubt
