THOUSAND MILES

I sit on the stairs

Yeah, those exposed to the sky

A tender breeze hugs me

And I can feel

It's gentle and reminds me of something

It tells me that I am complete

I extend my hands

and raindrops touch my palms

soft and caressing

Yes, I can feel

My eyes are exposed to high walls

Yet, they can see the skies

I raise them up and I know

I am complete

The journey took a thousand miles

A thousand miles away from you

And you are present in your absense

I realize my hands are still extended

I close them to shelter the raindrops

And in this shelter

I wait

Silently

For you to set me free.
