Empathic Poet

In every moment I see your smile -
You should be here with me;
I long to feel your gentle touch -
But I wonder now, will this be?

Connected across time and land -
To know your heart once again;
Your boundless soul knows mine -
But this time, will my heart win?

A fleeting thought I know is yours -
A song I hear, always in my mind;
I know you are thinking of me -
But, will my heart, you find?

I can see through time and space -
But, your love I cannot see;
I can feel what others feel inside -
Separate I cannot, for you are me.

As if looking in the mirror -
To see the other side I hide;
There I am inside your heart -
Where my love will forever abide.
