From A Distance

I met you at an instant
When hope was not of matter.
I didn't mean to fall in love.
I feared my heart to shatter.

But you with broken pasts yourself,
Your words spoken from heart.
I saw your pain. I felt your fears.
I knew right from the start.

Our roads had crossed, but time was scarce.
I didn't intend to stay.
Not knowing that we'd meet again,
You were headed my way.

Still, miles between us, distant love
And lonely nights are long.
I wait for sunrise patiently
To be where I belong....in your arms at last.
