Although you are not near me <br />And so many miles away, <br />You're in my dream forever <br />And I dream of you each day, <br />No thing could come between us <br />Or could tear our lives apart, <br />For you are always with me <br />And you're always in my heart. <br /> <br />So as the day is dawning <br />And the songbirds fill the air, <br />With sweet and heavenly music <br />My sweet you're always there, <br />I close my eyes and see you <br />And I hear your gentle voice, <br />And wish that I could hold you, <br />I just wish I had the choice. <br /> <br />Within the shade of summer <br />As beneath this tree I lie, <br />My thoughts of you are endless <br />And my thoughts will never die, <br />I'm resting there so grateful <br />For without your love I'd be, <br />Just like a fading shadow <br />Like the shadow of this tree. <br /> <br />The sun now sinking slowly <br />And the embers growing deep, <br />I think of you while I'm awake, <br />And I think of you in sleep, <br />The stars are now like diamonds <br />As the moon does shine so bright, <br />I feel you there beside me <br />And I feel your warmth this night.<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/although-you-are-not-near-me/
