Close To Me

Are you close to me
even if my skin cannot sense you
even if my own thoughts make you
so far away from me

Are you close to me if the night
shows nothing but darkness
if my calling isn’t answered
if the dawn seems far

Are you close to me if my arm
is too short to reach for you
if every mile seems an eternity
and my eyes cannot find the stars

Are you close
even if I’m far
from me
