Doctor Zhivago

You were too far from home 

You left love to find none

Left the rain to hide from the sun. 

You sat in a bar 

Watching Doctor Zhivago; 

The plot thickened 

As time was wasted–

More distance created.

You were too long away from home

Wandering like an orphan 

While you made one of your own;

Sat in a bar

Starting a war

Losing memories 

Before our life had begun

You made me listen to your stories

While I wrote one of my own,

Never far from home

Watching Doctor Zhivago 

Alone.
