Long Distance

Meh

I dream all night of you being right there,
but every morning I wake up clutching the empty air.
Sometimes I want to cry when I hear your voice,
I sometimes wonder if I made the right choice.
I feel like I'm dying inside when we fight,
but whenever you laugh my world is suddenly bright.
Sometimes I want to breakdown and tell you I miss you.
but I know there's nothing you can do.

It breaks my heart to see all the happy couples,
they don't even realize how lucky they are.
They laugh and they smile,
seeing life in each other's eyes.
A hand is always there for them to hold,
and they don't stop to think maybe someone else's hands are cold.

I dream of a day when it's just you and me,
when our relationship isn't a show for everyone to see.
Sometimes I wish things didn't have to be so hard,
I sometimes wish that my heart would drop it's guard.
I just want to stop the sand in the glass,
i just want to make this moment last.
Sometimes I want to breakdown and tell you I need you,
but then reality sets in, and I'm too afraid to.

I see the couples fighting in the street,
not realizing they're taking each other for granted.
I see the couples completely ignoring the other,
they don't realize that the one they love may leave.
A bitterness clouds their vision,
and it's like they don't realize that love isn't a prison.

It hurts that you're so far away,
and I don't get to see you every day.
It hurts knowing I have to share you with the world,
and I don't get to see you as much as I'd like.
But it's worth all the pain be able to call you mine,
to know that your wrapped around my heart like a vine.
