Why am I not with you? version1

And why am I so far, why am I not with you?
I asked the rain about it, but it only shed tears true.
I asked the wind, but it whispered leaves in reply,
And why are you so far, and why aren’t you nearby?

I long to gently touch your feet like a flowing stream,
To be your rain and return as a lovely cloud, it seems.
To be the reed whispering "I love you" in your ear,
And be that flower in your hands, so dear.
No need for extra words, just this truth clear.

And why am I so far, why am I not with you now?
I wanted to ask the river, but it stayed silent, rushing away somehow.
I looked up at the clouds, but silence was their reply,
And why are you so far, and why aren’t you nigh?

I long to gently touch your feet like a flowing stream,
To be your rain and return as a lovely cloud, it seems.
To be the reed whispering "I love you" in your ear,
And be that flower in your hands, so dear.
No need for extra words, just this truth clear.

And why am I so far, why can’t I see your face?
It’s hard to be apart, I’d hear your call in any case.
But only phone beeps, a hollow sound in reply,
My friend, I’m very far, that’s why you’re not nearby.

I long to gently touch your feet like a flowing stream,
To be your rain and return as a lovely cloud, it seems.
To be the reed whispering "I love you" in your ear,
And be that flower in your hands, so dear.
No need for extra words, just this truth clear.
