Beyond a Distance

Through the clouds
and beyond the stars,
My thoughts of you
seem so far.
I feel so close
yet, you are miles away,
Beyond my touch
is where you stay.
I try to jump
but can't get that high,
You drift up close
towards the ongoing sky.
Out of my reach
and far from my sight,
Until all that is left of you
is one burning light.
A star in the sky
is what you now are to me,
The farthest one
for me to see.
So, I make a wish
on this shining star,
That you will always think of me
Beyond this distance that is so far.
