Long Distance..

A poem I wrote. The beginning of the poem is inspired by the amazing song on Franco's blog, and the rest goes as follows:

This is a letter
A letter from the sky
Like a tranquil lullaby
It smoothly swept by
And flew off with speed
So it will reach you
Before you sleep

It carries my voice
Across the horizon
Through the black waves
'Til it has found
Its destination
And it reaches you
As a warm summer breeze

This is a letter
And it brings you my heart
So there will be no more nights
Spent so far apart
Look at the letter
And you'll see it's true:
"I love you, only you"

And here's one I wrote on the plane back to the US from Sweden a couple weeks ago:

Oh, leaving you
Feels like hanging over the edge
I gaze at the widespread ocean
With a clouded vision

I see the truth
In the landscapes passing by
The weight on my heart can prove
That this is our goodbye

Say you love me, it lights a fire
I've never felt before
The plane keeps on lifting higher
Till I see your face no more
