Why am I still tripping over your words? when my ears can't hear you speak a thousand miles away; when my feet can't run into your arms a thousand miles away. Why am I still putting you in a frame? when I can't look at your smile everyday a thousand miles away; when I can't touch what's behind the glass a thousand miles away. Why am I singing your favorite songs? when you left your microphone a thousand miles away; when the word love will never reach you a thousand miles away. Why am I writing poems about you? when you never read them anyways when we were both a thousand miles away from where I am now without you.

A Thousand Miles Away
Why am I still tripping over your words? when my ears can't hear you speak a thousand miles away; when my feet can't run into your arms a thousand miles away. Why am I still putting you in a frame? when I can't look at your smile everyday a thousand miles away; when I can't touch what's behind the glass a thousand miles away. Why am I singing your favorite songs? when you left your microphone a thousand miles away; when the word love will never reach you a thousand miles away. Why am I writing poems about you? when you never read them anyways when we were both a thousand miles away from where I am now without you.
Today got me catching old feelings like the flu catches to children on a playground in March.
