I wake up today already feeling melancholy
today is the day you are leaving for your dream job
I should be happy for you right? but instead i told you
it's time to end things between you and I
I told you the distance was too much, I couldn't handle it
but I'm laying awake in bed and all my thoughts are filled with you and your warm brown eyes, your dashing smile
they way you make me feel so alive and happy
like nothing bad could ever happen to me
and I've come to a conclusion, as I've spent the last hour
thinking about you, the distance is no match for how much I will miss you, I hurry as fast as I possibly can so I can catch you
before you leave on your train
I speed through the traffic and arrive 10 mins before the
train should depart, I push my way through people trying to find where
you should be, and suddenly in the blur of everything I catch a glimpse
of your ebony hair, I change my course and now I'm running straight for you I catch your wrist just in time, for you were just about to board and you would have been gone forever, your warm eyes immediately look down to me,
like you were expecting me, we stand there staring at each other for
what feels like hours, I take a deep breath and I breathlessly say
“It's you” as I look deep into your loving gaze, returning it
“explain, what changed your mind” you say in return, I have to think
what did change my mind? “ you see, the distance is no match for how much
I would miss you” I say, you look as if you will start crying “thank you” you say, “because I would miss you so much more because I’m in love with you” and I know that I’m in love with you too maybe even more
