As I sit here
looking back
farther i go
from you

Mile by mile
city by city
car by car
i pass

its hard not to notice
ever so slowly it grows
though i continue on
from you

hour by hour
field by field
song by song
i go through

Its hard to breath
grown large by now
painful it has become to be away
from you

Wouldn't it be nice.
If we died side by side.
Holding hands,
Your head next to mine.
Our ribs crushed together,
From a truck that hit us on the side.

Wouldn't it be nice
If they cremated us side by side
In the funeral pyre we built
With the heat of our own love.
Burning in a pit,
'Til we're charred and black inside.

Wouldn't it be nice
If they threw our ashes to the sea
Off a cliff,
Floating to the breeze.
Without a care,
Just like you and me.

Wouldn't it be nice,
If our souls drifted together.
Towards oblivion,
Hand-in-hand we'll leap.
Let's gravitate from this world,
Alone at last, just you and me.

I love you
             The way
       the sun
Loves
          the moon

Never together

       At a distance

              Always and *forever
