Missing you is a monster that i am devoured by today
you live so far away
i want to be held tight in your arms
i wish you were here

i am constantly strained by desire
the wish to go to you
you live so far away
come and visit again soon

this tightening feeling in my chest
a consistent coil wrapping around and around
compressing me and tearing into me in lines thinner than those of your smile
you live so far away

i want to feel the heat of your eyes
the burning brown of forests and mud
sear into my heart will that everlasting glare
you live so far away

i desire the chill of your smile
the cool tingles running up and down my back along your fingers
the ice cold winters set upon me by your toothy grin
you live so far away

i would die to hear your voice
the way you say my name like it is the most precious relic left of a civilization lost long ago to the earth
your laugh as it pierces the silence like a stake into my heart
soft whispering into my ear leading me in and out of dreams of you
you live so far away

the way your fingers drag along my skin
and your hand rested on my thigh
the way we laugh first thing in the morning
and last thing before bed
the way the snow falls when you leave
and the sun shines when you come back
the way you can cheer me up in seconds
when i have felt low for years
and the way my entire world ends without you here
like my head is swirling
and my heart is flipping
and my stomach is twisting
and my hands are aching
and my feet are sore
and my mind hurts
and i miss you will every ounce of my being

you live too far away
