Only Human

You are so near,
Yet so far away.
I hear your voice,
I hear your laughter,
I can see your smile...
But I'm not with you,
And you are not with me.
I'm so afraid
This will always be,
Our two worlds
Separated by something minute,
Something material...
A chair, a table, a street...
Or something greater...
Fears, anger, or jealousy.
I'm only human, my love,
'Though I long to seem more
In your precious mind.
I'm only human,
And I make mistakes.
I pray loving you
Does not become one of them.
