Off The Ground

Closer

So many years have passed
Since you have left this country.
That has always been your plan.
Off you were gone a million miles away.

Now you live, you live half a world apart.
Not returning. My hearts yearning.

Wish you were here and lived next door.
Now that I am older I miss you more.
Let's transcend time and space.
Our spirits will be closer in the end.

Conversations over FaceTime
Once a month on Sundays.
We can have profound exchange.
Yet you are still a million miles away.

Now you live, you live half a world apart.
Not returning. My hearts yearning.

Wish you were here and lived next door.
Now that I am older I miss you more.
Let's transcend time and space.
Our spirits will be closer in the end.

Wish you were near.
With every passing year.
I miss you more.
My sister dear.
