Distance

You tell me
I can’t imagine leaving this town without you
But in the same breath  
Complain about how hard it is to pack
I’m not sure what you really means by this  
But I smile and I laugh
And I don’t tell you
I can’t imagine leaving this life without you
So I’ll stay
And I’ll mourn
And maybe cry a little bit.  
I’ll recite a eulogy I wrote for us at your going away party
because I know this is the end.
I know you’ll find some light eyed pretty girl
When you’re away  
And I know when you visit  
you won’t make me a priority  
You’ll bring her to hang out with your friends  
And you’ll smile and you’ll laugh  
And I’ll still be mourning  
Rereading this eulogy  
because this is the last good thing I’ll ever write.
