Resignation

I resign myself to moments
When you are too far away
As the hills on the horizon
Wane from blue to moody gray

I resign myself to memories
Bittersweet to touch
But oh, I hold them close to me
I love them very much

I resign myself to echoes
Of your laughter in my ears
I resign myself to loving
In a language breathed in tears

I resign myself to missing you
When time and miles impart
Intangible restrictions
Twixt your whispers and my heart
