I am half a world away,
With a broken heart
Time travelling through the days,
Crying for the normality
That set us on this path in the first place.
In the past,
You tell me of your plans,
For the day I’ve already lived through
And I ache
To live it over again by your side..
How do I pull myself out
Of this mess I’m in?
Counting down the days
To the future when we share
The same timeline,
And even though
That horizon is the closest it’s been
It feels like a million lifetimes away.
How did we do this before?
Distance tearing me apart
Alone in the future,
Staring at white wall
That cannot be home
Until you share them with me.
I have loved you for so many years,
It’s all I really know,
The only way I can breathe,
Is focusing in the journey to bring you
Here with me.
I need to be brave now.
More so than I have ever been,
And my dear I am trying.
But it’s so hard to move forward
When I want to keep looking back
And wait for you.
But forward I’ll walk
Making the preparations I can
So when you fly through time
You reach the future worth travelling for.
In the past, right now and the future too
One constant remains true,
I have, I will, i do,
I love you.
