miles_between_us
the awful truth when you say that you love me
i know that you mean it
when i say it back well you better believe it
nothing is ever deemed meaningless
and there are miles and miles between us.

so the faith it may stretch like a muscle
and your patience with me it wears thin
but ___ you know i;m right fucking there for you
and i'd be happy to prove it again.

i don't know how i'd do it or how you would feel safer with me at the wheel of this train we are on
could we climb up a frozen hill again in the country and lie in my bed watching snow?
could i write some line so sad that you cry out of knowing that i am right there for you
would you never believe me
forget what you read and just
leave me holding my notes?

like the dog that waits for you to come home
like the geysers erupting like clockwork
the sun and wind and the sky and the
timelessness of your artwork.
and the signs that you've seen
forget what they mean
not a thing
and on this i swear
and i hope that you know
through the rain and the snow
i am there.
and i care.

when you say that you love me
i know that you mean it
when i say it back well you better believe it
nothing is ever deemed meaningless
and there are miles and miles between us.

well i know that the distance is trying
and i may have a penchant for lying
but i, forsooth,
am telling the truth,
on penalty of truly dying.
when i say the miles are far
well you and i both know that they are
but i fucking love you
and i fucking mean this
regardless of miles between us.

misstree where once physical was
measure of absolute,
in ironic turn, it has
assumed the ephemeral nature
it would put upon you, us.
you're right_here, inside_me,
always. i don't understand
but i know. i am yours,
and i could and would
not change that, regardless of
distance and difficulty.

the day we will crash together
is unquenchable ember just out of reach,
and each moment between
fiercely full unto itself.

i_love_you.
never_forget.
