Distance

Distant souls on fire,
Hands reaching higher
For another to hold,
For a way to grow,
Fingers entwined;
No time to pine,
Spirits fading fast,
Hoping love will last;
Slow beats of the heart
Quicken when far apart,
Cannot stand to be away,
Do not want to stray-
But what is one to do
When forgetting how to say
I love you?
