Love From A Distance
John Roberts
How I long, to be with you,
And how my heart does bleed.
My love for you, burns deep within,
An all-consuming need.
My love for you, is still as strong,
As the day when we first met.
And, as we, go through life, together,
The stronger it will get.
Being away from you, tears me apart,
I can hardly bear the strain.
I’m just longing for that day to come,
When you’re in my arms again.
The days drag past, so slowly,
It seems so long to go.
Until I’m with you, once more, my love,
I really miss you so.
I know sometimes, I’m not much fun,
When I’m there with you,
But, just know this, my darling,
My love for you is true.
