Distance

It’s five in the evening - I’m still waiting,

You said you’d call ‘cause you’d been missing me,

I smiled and waited with all my heart,

Not to say that it’s still breaking apart.

 

This summer when we were there for each other,

We spoke words of pain, shared it,

I never told but that was when I realized,

That I didn’t have to let you go.

 

It has rained, autumn passed by,

Now, it’s cold in this city - fog in the early morning,

I could easily see the faint shadow of the moon,

How I used to tell you that it’s pretty when it was clear!

 

Loved every part of your story, 

‘Cause you told it so passionately - I couldn’t help,

But now, it’s chilly despite the scarf around my neck,

That you gave to me last december.





And I could easily wait longer - even forever for you,

But why can’t you just tell me that it’s worth it?

You just went away saying it’s long distance love,

And that it’s gonna work for us.

 

Well, I am still keeping my promises,

And sometimes, even those that you made,

But it seems like, you forgot most of them,

And now, that time ain’t far when you’d forget me too.

 

Empty streets for everyone’s inside their homes,

I just linger around picturing us under the streetlight,

As my shadow disappears in the light,

And your picture takes over my head.

 

Life is too short for this pain - it too shall pass, I know,

But why do I want to stay in this pain?

Just because it has you in it,

For my happy moments - they’re all lacking you.





I wonder how you’re doing - if you really think about me,

Or is it just your words that mention me and not your heart?

I wonder if all of it was an illusion,

Because you said you really loved me.

 

I don’t wanna be delusional, but I’m just afraid,

Remember how you used to hold me whenever I was down?

Those times you held my hand and said we’d face it together,

Where did all of that go?

 

“Distance won’t make any difference.”

Well, I guess it did so brutally,

That you forgot the questions you were gonna ask someday,

And I lost all the words to answer.

 

When the cold wind wraps around me from everywhere,

Is when I think about you, and realize that I miss you,

When those old pictures in my phone pop up suddenly,

Is when I realize that I truly loved you…
