No Closer

Just out of reach
Nearly out of time.
I run like hell to get to you,
I need to make you mine.
I can taste you when I breathe
Closer than the air around me
You surround me, always.

Yet never nearer than this
No closer shall you roam.
Your freedom to run
Will forever be your own.
Knowing this I swallow hard
A tear trails from my eye
I try not to think about
How long I may cry.

This one's going to hurt
Though not a dark or evil pain.
This is something to be cherished, yet
Surely I would do it all again.
Just to have felt your breath once
Or to lie in the linger of you in my bed.
To again have kissed your sweet lips
And had you swimming in my head.
