Why are you so far away?

And tell me, why are you so far away?
And why am I not walking with you today?
I asked the rain, but only tears replied,
It wept in silence, nothing more to hide.
I asked the wind, so gentle and so wide,
But only whispers through the leaves confide.

And tell me, why are you so far?
And why are we so distant, apart yet star?
I long to be at your feet, so near,
Tenderly, softly, to hold you dear.
I wish to be your rain, your gentle stream,
Transform into a cloud by your side, it seems.
I want to be a reed, that whispers "love,"
Softly in your ear, like a secret dove.
And in your hand, a flower so fair—
A token of my love, so true, so rare.

No words are needed, no tales to spin,
The silence speaks of what lies deep within.
And tell me, why are you so far away?
Why can't I walk beside you every day?
I tried to ask the flowing stream,
But it vanished into a dream.
It turned to clouds up in the sky—
Only silence answered why.

And tell me, why are you so far from sight?
Why can I not hold you close tonight?
It's hard to bear this ache and longing,
Though I could call, only echoes ringing.
The dial tones murmur, cold and clear,
My dear, I am so far from here.
And that’s why you are out of reach,
And far from me, beyond my speech.

At your feet I wish to lie,
Gently, softly, to never say goodbye.
I want to be your rain, your cloud so bright,
Loving you softly, deep into night.
I want to sway within the reed,
Whisper "I love you," fulfill your need.
Hold that flower in your sweet hand—
And stay forever close, together, standing grand.

No words are needed now or then,
The silence tells what words can't send.
A love so pure, so true, so deep—
A gentle secret that I want to keep.
