“MILES AWAY”

SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE WAS PACKING TODAY,

IT MAY BE SHORT, IT MAY BE LONG, BUT SHE HAD TO GO AWAY,

I’M SORRY SHE SAID, BUT I MUST DO THIS FOR THE SAKE OF MY FAMILY,

I UNDERSTAND AND KNEW THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO NOR THAT I COULD SAY,

THOUGH MY HEART FEELS  OTHERWISE AND DESPERATELY WANTS YOU TO STAY,

LOVE FOR US MAY COME ONE DAY,

SIMPLY PUT IF LOVE FOR YOU AND I ARE EVEN MEANT TO BE,

I HAVE TO CLOSE THIS CHAPTER AND EXPLORE ALL POSSIBILITIES,

WITH TEARS IN HER EYES AND ROLLING DOWN ONE AFTER ANOTHER AS IF IT WERE A RACE,

EACH TEAR RAN AFTER THE OTHER AS IF THEY GAVE CHASE,

SHE SAID I REMINDED HER OF SOMEONE ELSE TO MY DISMAY,

SHE WENT ON AND FURTHER EXPLAINED IT IS NOT A NEGATIVE THING JUST A MATTER OF TIMING AND SPACE,

SHE CAN HEAR MY HEART POUNDING WHILE STARING INTO HER BEAUTIFUL FACE,

ITS HARD TO SAY GOODBYE TO A PERSON YOU LOVE AND KNOW CANNOT BE REPLACED,

LOVE CANNOT BE BUILT ON A FOUNDATION OF CURIOSITY,

SO MUCH GOING ON IN OUR LIVES THAT ITS BETTER THAT WE GO THIS WAY,

CAN’T STOP ASKING MYSELF WHY NOW? WHY THE LONG WAIT?

IF I AM TO BE ALL YOURS AND YOU TO BE THE ONLY ONE FOR ME,

TOO MANY FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS TO ALLOW TO GO ASTRAY,

I JUST KEEP TELLING MYSELF THAT ONE DAY ON MY CHEST SHE WILL FOREVER LAY,

THE THOUGHT ALONE KEEPS ME FULFILLED AND HAPPY,

LOOKING TOWARDS THE SKY I WONDER IF SHE FEELS THE EXACT SAME WAY,

HOLDING HER SO CLOSE AND FEELING THE WEIGHT OF HER PULLING AWAY SLOWLY,

OUR CHEEKS SLOWLY PULLING APART AND NOSES ARE NOW TOUCHING WHILE OUR LIPS ARE AT PLAY,

ALL MY EMOTIONS ARE IN FULL DISARRAY,

AND ONCE WE STOPPED KISSING SHE TRIED TO WALK AWAY,

HER HANDS ARE LETTING GO, BUT MINE…. THEY JUST WON’T OBEY,

TO LET GO OF HER SOMETHING I CONSTANTLY TRY TO DELAY, 

THE INEVITABLE DOES OCCUR AND OFF SHE GOES AS MY HEART SINKS LOWER AND LOWER AS I STAND IN PLACE, 

UNABLE TO MOVE AND MY LIPS CONTINUOUSLY SAY,

I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, 

AS SHE DRIVES MILES AWAY.
