*(Author's note: I wrote this poem to my girlfriend (who's now my wife) at a time when we were living several hundred miles apart from each other. This poem represents a quest that both of us had to endure to finally be together. It represents a time of waiting and patience... of hope and fear... and of love and understanding. This one's for you Amy... I'm glad our quest is over, so that now the fairy tale may begin...) “Even Though You’re Far Away” (for Amy, my wife) Even though you’re far away I feel you by my side, You give me all I ever need And make me feel alive; Love, compassion, understanding Each and every day, All these things you give to me Even though you’re far away. Even though you’re far away You’re always on my mind, All things remind me of you, love You truly are sublime; I hear such beauty in your voice And in the things you say, Your love has touched me beyond words Even though you’re far away. Even though you’re far away I’ve loved you from the start, And ‘til I hold you in my arms I’ll hold you in my heart; We’ll walk through life together And love will light the way, To you, Amy, I belong Even though you’re far away. by Overlord_Diabolus
