When we're apart a part of me dies
Until I recall the sound of Your voice
And the way Your eyes tell me not to fear.
I feel the reassuring touch of Your hand
Gently resting on my shoulder
As I read the words You've written
On each page of my heart.
When we're apart I feel lost
Until I look at the map You provided
To carefully guide each footstep
Of the journey that will bring me back to You
And I find the markers You've set along the way
To assure me I've not wandered far
From the path You've chosen for me to travel.
When we're apart I feel lonely
Until I feel the warmth of Your love
Touching me from hundreds of miles away
And filling my heart with happiness
Because I know that Your thoughts
Have turned to me from that distance
And bridged the miles that lay between us
As easily as reaching across the room.
When we're apart I feel empty
Until the flood of memories fills me
With the comfort and knowledge
That no matter where we are,
Or what we're doing
Our hearts and souls are joined
Just as surely as when we're in each other's arms.
For no distance can come between us
Nor can time lessen the bond
That is forged when two hearts
Have found each other
And two souls
Have become one.
