don't ever think
that i don't think about you
because
i think about you everyday.
i carry you with me
a close, thoughtful presence
in my soul
that i know will never leave me.
the trees the lofty clouds
a passing
i hear your voice i see your face
above the noisy, constant rush
of daily activity
and i pause
and think about you
and hope you know
that distance means distance in roadway miles
and time means time in measured minutes
but neither are measurements of
the closeness of the heart.
