Array ( [sid] => 29785 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Take the long way home [time] => 2003-12-19 20:10:02 [hometext] => Quite often, the distance between two people isn't that they are physically far apart, but mentally and emotionally. [bodytext] =>

I'm a long way away
and lost in a cave.
I'm lost in a world
where time doesn't matter
and worry has no place.
Where sadness doesn't belong
and kindness does predominate.
It's a long way home
and I don't want to
walk that way alone.
'Cause time has a way of standing very still.
If I know you, you will come walking home with me.

You're a long way from me
and lost on an island.
You're lost in a place
where disappointment cannot live
and anger cannot find.
Where love rules over all
and joy beats everything.
You're a long way from home
and you should never walk that way alone.
'Cause time - it doesn't move an inch.
If you knew me, you'd pinch
to prove it's not a dream.
No matter how long it takes,
no matter what you need to do,
you can take the long way home.
I'll be waiting for you. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 326 [topic] => 21 [informant] => Hannah_jeannie_Brazeau [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 3 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

Mentally and emotionally far apart I agree...with that...a very nice write especially the end - you'll be waiting. Very nice. All the best.

Emma.
