Distance

He's my star, burning bright,
but he's light-years away from me
and the distance is killing me
and everything is burning
with purifying fire,
taking me far away
from the love i once knew.
And the boy in my dreams,
he tucks me into his arms
into safety and warmth
but I wake up cold.
How can it be true
that I've fallen once more?
I fall asleep eagerly
to dream of him,
but in truth I know
he'll never truly be mine.
Not with the distance
that separates us
so thoroughly.
