I am East... You are west... We will never get to see each other... And we will chase each other for an eternity... For earth never stops spinning.. When it is day for me... It is night for you... It is like I am trying to catch your shadow... But when I finally get where you are.. You and your shadow are gone.. As night has taken over... I promise myself to try the next day... As I've done for as long as time has existed... And for as long as time exists... For I love you too much to stop trying... And I take solace in the fact that at least we are on the same earth... Knowing you are on this earth is enough of a gift for me...

East..... West
I am East... You are west... We will never get to see each other... And we will chase each other for an eternity... For earth never stops spinning.. When it is day for me... It is night for you... It is like I am trying to catch your shadow... But when I finally get where you are.. You and your shadow are gone.. As night has taken over... I promise myself to try the next day... As I've done for as long as time has existed... And for as long as time exists... For I love you too much to stop trying... And I take solace in the fact that at least we are on the same earth... Knowing you are on this earth is enough of a gift for me...
