Distance

The sweet scent of sea salt across your face The million miles between our hearts both time and space Memories of laughter, dancing and love together in one place Do you remember the dress I wore and my white veil of lace? The years have come and gone, but I'm still here With each passing moment a breathless hope that you draw near Pondering still on how it all ended, so much left unclear Watching my changing reflection in this broken mirror The end creeps closer in each passing moment, alone in death I fear Blue majestic mountains set in front a fiery tipped orange sun Only first seen truly with my eyes when into your arms I did run Fate was set and paths chosen nothing to be undone All the time spent together, long passionate nights of fun Weight on my shoulders must weigh more than a ton You loved me once and my heart was only for you Why such a harsh decision in the end we both came to Your eyes now only see a sky of green and the ocean blue A fog has set in and the past has become a hue 12,000 miles away from me your heart flew The hands of the clock are coming to a stop They say my heart no longer works and my blood pressure will drop My thoughts are with you as I leave this wrinkled shell I hear beautiful music and the distant familiar sound of a ringing wedding church bell
