Worlds Apart

Who knew that just six feet

Would feel like worlds apart

Who knew that human touch

Such an integral part

 

What is needed the most

In this time filled with fear

The warmth of our loved ones

And the want for them near

 

But we must stay away

To have our victory

With every passing day

The distance killing me

 

How I wish now that I

Would have held you longer

Then lonely heart might feel

Just a little bit stronger

 

I pray that this will pass

For I love you so much

And soon, my dear, you’ll know

You’ll feel it in my touch
