Tonight As You Sleep

This poem is written also, about a long distance friendship where we had yet to meet in person,

but hoped that we would one day. We talked on the phone and were friends never knowing if we

would meet face to face, but knowing that we cared about each other. Six years later and we have

yet to meet face to face, but we still talk online and one day, we know, that we will have that meeting

one day, as friends who love each other in their hearts, with a love that will always cover distance and

time. A love based on honesty and friendship and one that I know, will last us the rest of our lives.

Tonight as you go to sleep

I hope your thoughts will turn to me

As you feel the love I send to you

From so far across the sea

You have touched my heart so gently

I don’t know if this is what you meant to do

Am I the only one to feel this love

Or do you also feel it too

Do you feel the beating of my heart

When I hear your voice on the line

Do you sense the emotions that you bring to me

That only seem to deepen over time

Do I let this love just flourish

Or do I try to control the things I feel

Will time and distance make a difference

Can love like this become so very real

I wonder if we will go on from here

Or will fear put a hold on these things

Can faith, joy, hope and trust

Be enough to see what the future brings

See what the future brings our way

As we take each day as it’s given to us

For life offers no guarantees at all

But we can believe in love and happiness

So keep this love I send to you

It’s given freely from my heart

I pray the friendship that it brings with it

Will close the miles that keep us apart.
