My Christmas Wish

I kept a place for you at the edge of my thoughts, where wishes glow but do not speak.

Every night I almost reach you and then wake with my hands still empty. If he above listens at all, let it be the night that carries my love to whether you are, and remind us both you are on your way.

For now, I will light a simple candle and hope the dimming light will guide your way. To my love, the one I should already know by name but is only known to heaven above, I will carry the flame until you arrive. If Christmas could grant me one wish, let it be the distance itself thins. Not yet meeting, not yet touching. Just one minute closer.
