I Feel You

The distance between lovers is bridged by memories.

When you have gone so far away
I feel you with me yet.
Lying in my lonely bed
My pillow is your chest.

The bedsheet tangled 'round my waist
Is your arms wrapped from behind.
The crickets near my window
Whisper what is on your mind.

The summer breeze, so gentle, is
Your fingers in my hair,
Full moon casts spotlights upon
Where I want you, there.

Your t-shirt which I haven't washed
Still lingers with your scent
How silly that I've slept with it
Every night since you went

Away from me. You may be there,
and I am here, my sweet
But memories and hope keep you
Close 'til again we meet.
