So near : So far

So near and yet so far ,

That’s how you are ,

My Morning Star !

On my way to work ,

In the morning

I get your glimpse ;

And some evenings ,

In that crowded

Homebound bus ,

How happy am I ,

To find you ,

Right there , in front of me !

When I am taking my evening bath ,

You are not there ,

But your memories are ,

And what’s more

I know I will recognize you

At the next table

In the dim-lit café

Facing the sea .

On Sunday we always meet

At the afternoon show ;

Although you do not seem

To remember

Having seen me ,

At the late night show

On Saturday !

Then I light my cigarette ,

And send some smoke signals ,

But Ah !

You do not seem

To appreciate

My primitive ways ,

The way you look at me !

But I like your looks

So I go on smoking ;

And say to myself ,

“ I promise , I won’t smoke ,

If she would rather

Have me talk “ .

But how do I know ,

You seem to be so far ,

Although you are so near !
