Ocean's Apart
I feel a silent whisper,
Laughter without sound.
This voice that speaks to me so deep
Is silent all around
This touch I feel upon my face
This feeling so sublime
Are the fingers of Eternity
And the touch that transcends time
Because love is more than physical,
It still exists when we're apart
Sometimes the distance between two people
Is just the distance between their hearts.
True love does not bend or mold
To laws that we lay down
The rules we set upon our hearts
Are trod into the ground
So this love that travels distances
That moves through time and space
Is the purest love known to man:
Love without a face
Distances mean nothing,
Despite the oceans that keep us apart
Because the distance between two people,
Is just the distance between their hearts.
So close your eyes for me,
Feel my soft caress
My hands entwine with yours
As we share a single breath
And if you ever feel a touch
When you are alone
Or a gentle kiss upon your neck
When no one else is home
Remember that our spirits
Are never far apart
Because there is no distance between us,
As there's none between our hearts.
