Out Of Reach



The distance between us like mountains, grass and beach,
Your so far away, your eyes out of reach.
-Memories I ponder, the lessons you teach,
Your so far away, your mouth out of reach.
-I hear your deep voice and listen to you speak,
Yet your too far away, your touch out of reach.
-But as time goes by and days turn to weeks,
I remember you've given your heart, that's not out of reach.
