Million Miles

You were a million miles away Needed you here and you came I will never forget that No, never forget that. You spoke of laughing your life away Didn’t care if ‘she’ could cook or bake To my best friend In our Westside apartment In the dining room And I couldn’t swallow my food In front of you Because right then I knew I loved you… Darling your blue eyes Drive me wild We sat on the couch And for the first time I subtly reached for you Just couldn’t not touch you. Thought you should know I trust you Feel safe with you Whatever you want to know you can Whatever you want to take, have Darling your blue eyes Drive me wild Someday You won’t be a million miles away And you held me in the kitchen for a split second... And I picked up your coat Held it for you And I just couldn’t not hold your hand I knew you were different Right then I knew I loved you Thank God I figured it out Before you left To go a million miles away The night In your parents house Upstairs You told me I said are you sure? You never faltered Yes. I wasn’t quite there yet Wasn’t ready to tell yet But then I did because You are You are You are So safe. Even at a million miles away
