Distance

I knew we’d have to say goodnight

on a hillside, bathed in city lights

I waited for you to kiss me

 

We let the ocean set us afloat

I read the letter that you wrote

It pulled me back to sea

 

The crack in your windshield gleamed

as it split open freeway beams

I watched them paint you

 

I waited for the morning light

my eyes burned when you took flight

I’d stretch my love East
