Out of Reach

By M. Pinion

I stare at the tops of trees, relish in the summer breeze

A rushing stream across my feet, leads me to what seems complete

But you're just out of reach and I can't get you off my mind

I hold you at a distance and it's killing me inside

My face warms with the dawn, lifting wet tears and the sadness gone

I give my riches and shorten the days, for happiness to come my way

But you're just out of reach and I can't get you off my mind

An embrace not for love and it's killing me inside

It feels so wrong, it feels so right

The dreams I have day and night

Oh a storm in my heart brims over unclean

So much more that I can't see

Please forgive me

Please forbid me

Oh, but you're just out of reach, and I can't get you off my mind

I only hold you at a distance and it's killing me inside
