Once again were alone

I lay on my bed and think of her

I am alone as is she

A bay between us

When I look East I can see her house in the hills of El Cerrito

It seems my thoughts carry to her and hers to me

As though our thoughts are magically floated above the water

I long for love and she is lonely in her work

Her job a tough task master and my play empty without one to do for

I am alone as is she

A bay between us

Is there a bridge between us or will our hearts drown in unmet waters

Only a bay between us.
