I've come across

I've come across a pleasant being
easy to look upon and joyful to converse.
all the time I hear my soul fleeing
from the person I long to comfort.

I've dug many hole and walked around many mountains.
None very deep or through any caverns
We still long to touch each other
but find ourselves alone.

Our hearts still beat as one
as our minds grow apart.
We'll never be so close
as we are when we depart.
