When you went to sleep today, I counted all the steps That sat between you and me, Like miles and miles of roads, So many twists and turns; The path was lost without a trace. Is it strange to think That we judge our love By distance to our hearts? Or do we choose to use The ground between us To fill that empty space? So explain these tears That fall together, Sliding down my cheek To join my other fears, Of romance and careers, As we drive this finite race.

Distant Loss
When you went to sleep today, I counted all the steps That sat between you and me, Like miles and miles of roads, So many twists and turns; The path was lost without a trace. Is it strange to think That we judge our love By distance to our hearts? Or do we choose to use The ground between us To fill that empty space? So explain these tears That fall together, Sliding down my cheek To join my other fears, Of romance and careers, As we drive this finite race.
For my Uncle Alec, who passed away this morning.
