Love at a Distance

They love making love at a distance Touching, though not really there Caressing through hundreds of miles Showing how deeply they care It is better when they are together The scent and the feel more intense But, oh, how they love at a distance Quieting vague discontents She’d tried making love to another Falling asleep in his arms Knowing it isn’t sufficient Knowing she really belongs Making love to her love at a distance Feeling his touch on her breast Feeling him moving inside her Sharing sweet dreams as they rest Knowing they’ll soon be together Though soon may be months or long years Till then making love at a distance Showing how deeply they care For no-one can do for these lovers With skilled hand or perfect caress What they do, though apart, for each other Sighing and laughing together Sharing those motions inside her Sharing that touch on her breast So they love making love at a distance Touching, though not really there Caressing through hundreds of miles Showing how deeply they care
