Just Us

The map between us holds its breath, With miles of road and open air, But distance is a hollow depth When I can find you everywhere. ​We haven't shared a morning light, Or walked the ground where shadows fall, Yet in the quiet of the night, I feel I’ve known you through it all. ​Like seeds that wait beneath the soil, Or pages in a book unread, There is a grace in all our toil, In every gentle word we’ve said. ​So rest tonight and dream of things That haven’t happened, but are true— The simple joy the future brings, And the day I finally walk to you.
