Distance

A familiar sensation
Warmth and emptiness
The liquid in my eyes
No more patience

One foot follows the other
Further from my view
Even though it's blurry
I can't let go of you

The long resilient cracks
Spread across my heart
Shatter to pieces
We're further apart

Seven hours
That's all it takes
One short trip
I return to you

My hands shake
As tears cross my skin
We have no choice
The distance stays

Each day without you
My smile turns down
No matter what I do
You're not around

How do I recover
I have to keep living
One glimmer of hope
Our new beginning

Even with the distance
The struggle
The depression
One thing prevails

The way your smile makes mine
The happiness from within
When we do beat the distance
It's greater than the end

Rather than call it quits
I live with hope of us
I refuse to give you up
When you're all I have

When I'm alone at night
It's you I wish to hold
So even though it's hard
I'll fight until we're old

One day
With time
Two weeks
Will be forever

Instead of visiting
You'll hold me at night
In our apartment
As if it's our right

After all the pain
The distance and the time
The loss from the past
Contributes to the future

We've done our time
Learned from less
The people we become
Shines through weakness

I'll hold on to that night
When your eyes open to mine
Join me for the journey
We'll make it sublime
