There's distance in the air and I cannot make it leave.

I cannot sense you close, though I know you're always near.

But the comfort of you near is what I long for.

When I can't feel you, I have learned to reach out just the same.

When I can't hear you, I know you still hear every word I pray.

I want you more than I want to live another day.

As I wait for you,

maybe I'm made more

faithful.
