Fear not the big, selfless smile
For it is not where I find a thrill
But forever fear the long while
For it is distance that will kill

Heartache hits when alone on this night
And the long wait for a word of lust
Takes every ounce of my might

Alas the word has come from afar
That his love is ever growing
Like the run across nights sky
of a small, bright shooting star

She lays in wake with a fast beating heart
The taste of fear creeping in from the start,
A charade of dreams circling in her head
But she calms her heart and keeps faith instead
