it's 5:11am & I miss you
& truly, I hate to miss you,
4,000 miles, my love, is quite
a long way, for our love to stretch
but stretch it may, as it only grows
though, no longer do I want it to stretch,
not because I believe it will get worn,
with our love, that's not a possibility,
I wake every morning to a smile
from you, the only sunshine that matters
but, as this sun rises, ours sets
on the other side of the world
& I can't miss another sunset without you,
distance makes the heart grow fonder
true, it does, but no one speaks about
how it makes you ache,
I miss you, my love
though soon, I won't have to,
everything is going to change
& I'm ready
to start anew
on the other side of the world
to begin my life, with you
year two
