A Thousand Miles

I stared at your car turning the corner And a tear slid down my cheek I didn't want to see you go My heart was breaking, piece by piece. Silently, I turned away from the window Where I had stood watching you leave I didn't want to watch you go But it was something I had to see. The next few days were a blur Just swirling and passing by I can't remember what I did Or even if I cried. I thought only of you Your laugh, your love, your smile I sadly wished I could be with you If only for a little while. But I knew that moment had passed And new things were to come Whether I actually liked it or not, I knew I had to move on. I have come so far away from you Half a world, a million years A thousand miles, I have walked Blindly, through my tears. I have not moved on just yet I'm still walking through some of the pain Easily, one step at a time, Trudging through the rain. But I do wish sometimes When the storm gets really bad That I were asleep forever So I wouldn't feel so sad. So here I am, and there you are, Still half a world away But I've stopped walking the thousand miles Just to see your face.
