F - Far Too Far Away

If I were to travel

to far off Spain,

would you wait for me?

Would I see you again?

What about Sweden

or Mexico?

Would you ask me to stay

or let me go?

I’d like to visit the pyramids.

and see the Chinese wall.

View Paris in springtime,

Or east coast colors in fall.

Mind, I do not ask permission

I travel where I will.

Across the town, around the globe

Returning to you still.

“Just don’t go too far,”

is what you’d say.

But, honestly, love,

what’s too far away?
