Close enough to see, yet too far to reach
Like a reflection in still waters, serene
As I touch my fingertips to the surface, the ripples carry your face to the other side of the ocean
Delivering it to a place far across torrential seas and violent skies
Though these waters seem to be the embodiment of an unbreakable barrier
I feel comfort knowing you're there, existing in a place I can not yet see
I would willfully tread this treacherous expanse to feel your smile, to look once into your eyes
Before the tide carries away me into the sky
