My Romeo

They say that distance is just a number A space between you and me Full of people, animals, buildings, and they Don’t know how much I suffer! I think of those long two thousand miles When you tell me you want to see me But to me, it is all impossible Because… YOU can barely leave your town! And I have the whole world cradled in my palm Possibilities are endless, time is of the essence! I think of you everyday and that distance Of how unfair it is that you and I Don’t have the luxury of holding hands and waking up together The three hour time difference makes you sleep earlier than me And wake up when I’m still dreaming And when I wake up, I see you’ve already Dragged yourself to school and plunged yourself into the day But there you are, waiting for me to tell you I love you and am proud to know of you And there are days when you Are no longer emotionally present And I will always be there, even if the distance stands Remember I was there when you and your girlfriend of four years Broke off your relationship for good, And you were there when I left the boy I was dating Because I was suffering inside, too Remember I was there when you needed schoolwork to be done And I stayed up in the long hours of the night Typing away for you, as if I were you And I was there when you were scared of losing me Reassuring you that I would never leave Even though ONE click of a button Can erase you from my life forever! I love you Because you never doubted me, and never EVER told me I couldn’t follow my dreams and desires And you never once told me that my tastes Were stupid and too unusual for someone my age And I never once told you that I thought You were too strange to be liked So we became Romeo and Juliet Because you said Juliet was like my name And I could only reciprocate your romantic gesture And STILL, after all this time, after all we’ve been through You’re still my Romeo Even though the distance between us still stands! But they say distance is just a number… And it is, so just you and me Let’s bring the number down to zero
