The Space Between

You are always there…
When I need a wonderful friend
And life's turbid, toiling pace
Loses its' gratuitous grace
To shield me from the bitter wind

I am always here…
When you need a hand to hold
When loneliness illumes the night
As the massive waves bring in the cold
And hollowness becomes your plight

You are always there…
When I need a compassionate ear
And the world around me closes in
When the vision becomes unclear
And my patience there wears thin

I am always here…
When you need a friendly smile
To ease the pain of yesterday
If and only for awhile
When your dreams have led you stray

The problem is …
You are always there..and I am always here … <><

You are always there… When I need a compassionate ear And the world around me closes in When the vision becomes unclear And my patience there wears thin.. very nice poem of love and emotions and being there in times of need. but at the end the problem is that you are there and i am here in need.............love, nearness, desire, wishes and problems......... thank u dear poet. tony

I really appreciate the composition, especially in tandem with the title, though the two final lines are too explicit for my liking, but that's strictly personal :)
