You're closer now

You won’t sink
To the shifting sands of time
They say
It consumes everything
Though I know
It only takes the shell
 
You were always far away
Out of reach
Out of sight
And somehow now
You’re closer now
Than you ever were before
 
I think back
To that place that never was
To favourite memories
Of which I dreamed
But never truly had
 
You were always far away
Out of reach
Out of sight
And somehow now
You’re closer now
Than you ever were before
 
Life will fade
From flesh and loving eyes
But life transcends
Love won’t fade
From time or space
And love holds life
Eternally.
