Long Distance Love

When I first moved
I wore your shirt every day.
For weeks.
I cried every night.
I couldn't bring myself to sleep
When all I could think about was
Who had replaced me
We promised to meet in the future
But this was right now.
Its now that my lips miss yours
Its now that I realize...
Nothing will ever compare
To this
Hurt
Miles away
Seas that part us
A house of memories
Secrets
Just between us
When we danced
To Jason Mraz
And you threw me in the pool
We knew I was leaving
But we...
We were fools.
We didn't care
That the sun had set
We were still up dancing
getting drunk
Young and dumb
Somehow... in love.
The way you held me
When we sat in the grass
The way you cried
As we drove past
The house of memories
Secrets
Just between us
Time to leave
Our drunken night
Now sober
Our passionate love
Now... over?
How could it be?
When did what we had
Leave?
When did the way you look at me
Falter?
When did our plans
Change?
You must still love me
Miles away
Hours apart
Seas still part us
Our time can't be up...
Long distance love is hard.
Especially when it started
When we were still together
When our song played through the speaker of your step dads truck
When our laughter bled into every aspect of our life together
I miss that house.
I miss watching movies on your couch.
Eating dinner with your family.
I miss your sister.
I miss your truck.
I miss your laughter.
I miss almost getting caught
Making out in the back room
Holding hands in the mall
I miss it all
And can't you see?
This is what long distance love did to me
Because now what we have
Is... different
You still call me Baby Girl
As if I'll see you sometime soon
You still end the phone call with
"I love you."
As if you only say that to me
But I know.
You're growing.
Changing.
Moving on.
It's time.
It's my turn.
Long distance love is hard.
And maybe, it's just not for us.
