Touch Me From a Distance

When I ask for your forgiveness

And you touch me from a distance

Showing me empathy

Giving me understanding

When I tell you how I’m feeling

And you share how you’re also dealing

With these difficult times

I feel heard, from this distance

When you hear my silent screams

When we share our best and worst dreams

When we give each other permission

To see the future

Through each other’s eyes

When you write so I can see your smile

When you type and I can hear your cries

When we open our hearts and souls

We can touch each other

From a distance
