Are we Really that Far???

Recognize that there will be nightmares and thoughts,
Morosely plucking you away from sleep.
You'll sit back,
Aghast and blank,
Panting and sweating,
While looking fixedly at the blue door of your bedroom.

And the endless resemblances that it holds will ache your spine,
Like a hundred poisoned arrows darted deep inside.
On such times, gather some strength and crawl up to your terrace,
Where you may still find pieces of us.

Open your arms and embrace the night's silence,
While the echoes of our laughter still play in your ears.
Imagine me standing there, with your face buried deep inside my chest,
Swaying to the soft wind whistling by.

Guide your hand to places where you want me to kiss and keep it there awhile.
And when, finally, you are no more afraid,
Look up and see the stars.
Overseas, thousand miles away,
I stand still and smile along, under the same sky, marking the same constellations.

And now let me ask you,
"Are we really that far?"
