	To Reach

I reach out across time and space to you.
Are you there, my friend?
What is time, to those we love?
Nothing but a grain of sand I say.
I have seen the passage of much sand,
since last we touched.

What is lost, is lost, but to build anew,
this is good, my friend, for us to grow
I want to know you again my friend
Build new memories, hear new dreams
Once we were close, I think
But sand does make changes

And erases the memories of yesterday
I am here and you are there
Distance stands between us, a wall
A wall of paper, easy to break, or not?
I reach to you, do you reach back?
And I wish you a perfect life.
