[verse 1]
In the morning when I wake
I reach across an empty bed
And find you are not there
I am alone, again, today

Your love is still here
In the safety of my heart
And in the memories
Of quiet and waiting thoughts

[chorus]
It fills the distance
between my heart and yours
It makes the difference
Seem so far away

Joining together
Filling the space
In time, this lonely heart
Will lead to you

[verse 2]
Knowing you'll be back
soothes my wanting heart
Knowing one tomorrow
You'll open up the door

Many roads we'll travel
As those from here to there
Hands and hearts returning
Where two souls still remain

[chorus]
It fills the distance
between my heart and yours
It makes the difference
Seem so far away

Joining together
Filling the space
In time, this lonely road
Will lead to you

[verse 3]
Tonight, I feel your heartbeat
Beating next to mine
Magic fills the air
And leads me to your love

The distance is the same
And yet it grows each day
Smaller as we touch
In mystical embrace

[chorus]
It fills the distance
between my heart and yours
It makes the difference
Seem so far away

Joining together
Filling the space
In time, this lonely void
Will lead to you

[ending]
It fills the distance
between your heart and mine
In time, this lonely void
Will lead to you

Gone is the distance
between your heart and mine
So now, this lonely void
Leads me... to you

This song, my very first real song, is dedicated to a really cool and kind musician and songwriter, Cole Prior Stevens. Thanks so much for your encouragement and direction. I've thought about writing songs for a couple of years; it feels like I've finally broken through that thin wall of fear. I'm not sure how good this is, but I know it feels good to get it done, even better to put it out there. Life is good when we follow our dreams, our hearts, our bliss.
