Distances

There are distances in geography and distances in time There are distances between two truths – there is hers and there is mine We can tell our stories about an event that happened to occur But the facts inside the tales we tell simply do not concur Neither one of us means to lie or to come across unfair We simply had different experiences even though we both were there So, you decide whom you choose to believe or which side you wish to take But both of us are wrong and right – of that make no mistake Because we don’t want the distances of geography or time To come in between us, a compromise we must find And thus we close our distances at the end of every day So no distance between us at night ever gets into the way
