If he was here...

Near 300 mile between his hand and her hair
West young man...where cougar makes lair 
Optimist, realist, idealist
Different takes...real big lake
Making lists, trying t' figure out the jist
Adrift perhaps in an ancient mystery
Reckon not, neuros and dorphins power such a rift
Modern jargon describes as chemistry
He goes, she goes...neither really knows
Days and nights pass...and her wonder is
What would life be like...
                                      ...if he was here
