The Great Devide

If wanting could make it true,

If wishing could bring it to pass

Then by her side, I would be.

But I am here and she is there,

And like East and West

Never the twain to meet.

We had hoped that if she went west enough

And I went east enough

We could meet in the middle,

But she cannot leave her part of the world

And I no longer will leave mine.

So, like to sides of the same coin

We stare in out in our own direction

Unable to see

The other’s way.

Love burns in our hearts, but not enough

To overcome the difference from here and there.

Therein lies our great divide.
