There you are and here I am.
We are separated by oceans, by streets, by minutes, by miles.
If there were a bridge, I'd cross it.
For a chat, for a meal, for a moment.

You are my family and my friends, my constants and confidantes.
You know me best, you love me even at my worst.
If there were a bridge, I'd cross it.
In a car, on foot, on a bike I don't know how to ride.

This pandemic has made miles longer, distance farther.
From family abroad and family down the street.
If there were a bridge, I'd be on it.
In a heartbeat, in a flash, in an instant.

I could, but I'm scared.
I could, but I'd worry
I could, but I'm afraid.
To risk and put you at risk.

If there were a bridge, I'd cross it.
In an instant, for a moment, on foot.

Today.
