Time apart, separated by miles that stretch further then they really are
In the middle we could meet but at this time we are apart
No hold I have on you, no ties that bind
But the connection of our two hearts is something people search their lives to find

Portraits etched in my mind of the nights we spent together
Memories of laughter, tears, and promises stick with me forever
I’d catch you looking at me; quickly you’d turn away
I could see in your eyes all the words you wanted to say

Both unsure of what would come when daylight broke through night
Still trying to process all the happenings of a love at first sight
Life tore me away from you, insecurities and fear
You broke my heart when you said you had trouble with me not near

Deep down I felt the same; living without you has taken its toll
I play it like I’m ok but deep down I don’t feel whole
People read our poems, beautiful words written from pain
They feel they understand this thing, but I don’t myself get this game

Laying down the burden for a moment to speak through typed out words
Feelings behind dictionary responses don’t do justice to the hurt
Poetry written back and forth as spectators get a show
The misery behind each post, no one will ever know

You can’t hide from me though dear, I read between the lines
Your heart beats to a rhythm that is in sync with mine
Maybe others can buy your lies, your faking through the pain
But lover I stand beside you even without the rain

So don’t be scared to ask me what I feel deep down inside
Don’t be afraid to yell at me, you no longer need to hide
And at the end of the day I don’t ask much from you darling
The request is simple; please don’t love anyone but me.
