Because I Do
Do you look for me?
In every stranger, do you look for my spark in their eyes, in their laughter?
Or hear my voice behind you, only to find I'm not there when you turn around?
Have you ever looked at the moon and wondered if I'm looking at it, too?
Or felt the pang of loneliness when thinking, "I wish I could show you this..."
How many times have you picked up the phone, only to hit delete instead of send?
Do you ever have to talk yourself out of driving hundreds of miles to break the distance?
Because I do.
