Long Distance
When day and night goes by, I wonder to myself
Is there a moment in time in a day where I am important enough
To make you pick up the phone with your hands
Move your fingers and send “Hi baby, I miss you”
When your lips move and a smile curls up your face
Is there a moment in time where your mind is flashing my face
Or is it something or someone that is more important than me
Like friends, university, gym, even basketball
Though we are 3954 miles apart, but my heart still beats 190 for you
My mind still run through all the moments I had with you
Picture perfect moments, where you heart beats next to mine
I wonder if you ever think about it, or was the moments we had was just too heavy for your everyday life
Baby, you don’t understand the pain I went through
When you mouth the words “maybe I just love you as a friend”
You don’t understand how much it kills me
When you say “lets stop Skyping everyday”
The words pierced into my body
Cutting through my paper heart, while I find a way to breath again
Tears ran down my face, while I find the right words to say.
But whatever I say, the only thing you replied is “It for our own good”
You’ve grown you said, but the only explanation that ran through my head
Is that you’ve grown out of me.
While i’m stuck here wondering all this, head spinning, tears rolling,
You, 3954 miles away, smiling.
