Our love still holds it's old spark
It glows and flickers inside my heart

May oceans distance wind and waves
Do their worst my heart to tame

Come cold come storm come longing days
Our little spark will grow to flame

Then one day perchance we'll meet
And your warm smile my lips will greet

Layed down with me in old desire
Our little flame may grow to fire
And
In that moment I will see
The ember that you gave to me

So long ago in years gone by
When you still sat right by my side
On
Our little bench that we once shared
Where friends knew not how much we cared

But worry I most every night
That I'm to late to join your fight

So as I close my eyes to sleep
I pray the image of you to keep

for even as it's hurts me now
to see you with him to myself vow

One day be yours to be your knight
and evermore keep our flames bright

I have driven many miles in a landscape unchanged
And though the highway signs roled  by no distance was gained
At the end of the trip there was nothing to see
Just some worn out burnt rubber
Wrapped round some lonely tree.

Many mistakes have been made in my days
Many tears shed
Many laughs lost
Many hearts broken
And to think I've stayed
never risking the trip
To you
cross the sea
who was right after just that one kiss

My days were different in the days we lived close
Many adventures taken
Many fires gathered round
Many moments cherished
And now after years we have lived and we've learned
and now the ocean looks smaller and the flight isn't so far
I will make it there
But if I'm too late
All I ask for is your happiness

I love you, I miss you, I want you, I adore you.
What do you do when I love you is I miss you, when I  miss you is I want you, when I want you is I adore you, and when I adore you is I still love you?

I love I love you.
I sometimes miss I miss you.
I have wanted I want you.
I will always adore I adore you.

*life would be so much easier if they were all one
different people. different times. same man?

I am anchored
I am grounded
I have a solid base
I am restrained
I am shackled
I am held in place

Tell me why the feeling dies?
Tell me why after all the longing, all the passion, and all the promise of future, it still leaves just as suddenly as it came.
How does something with such proclaimed importance mean so much one day
and nothing the next.
Tell me why?

Four thousand six hundred fifty two miles away
from my small town front door to the bed where you lay.
One thousand one hundred fifty minutes from you,
a long time to travel but I'd do it for you.
Two hundred thirty two days  since you left,
two hundred thirty one nights without rest.
A million statistics but none that I see
that will ever be enough to keep you from me.
