IT SEEMS MY LIFE HAS BEEN A DREAM

It seems my life
has been a dream
Of distant shores
Of distant dreams--
Of distant everything.

It seems that everything
was meant to be
Or so it seems.

And yet--
I wish you weren't
Across the sea
I wish that you
were close to me.

I wish that I could
hold you now--
I wish,
I wish somehow.

I wish that everything
could change
And yet I wish
it still the same.

I wish that just
this once
That we could talk,
could touch--

I wish that I didn't
miss you
So much.
