Seven days, seven nights
And so far away
Feeling pain and such joy
Watching your lovely face
A world away, but so close
I feel I can touch you in my mind
Hold you in your pain, so gently
So tenderly
But
You are the moon in the sky
Real and there and shining
You lighten my darkness
And I reach up to touch you
But you are so far away
Even these yearning arms can’t reach
And I want to plant sweet kisses
On those lips I feel I know so well
Take you in my arms on some far away beach
Feel sun on our touching skins
Feel your head nestled on my chest
Your sigh….so familiar now
Like old friends who just never knew each other
Till seven nights and seven days
How life can change in such a time
And I want you in my life
To be my life, beside me, beside you
Seven days
I never knew you and now
I find it painful to be without you.
