The Distance

This distance separates us, and is slowly killing me. Its not only killing me but it is also replacing me. With the extra time it gives you to love someone else, my heart breaks just thinking about myself. It wasn't that serious until I heard about the bullet, my jaw just dropped, and for some reason it wouldn't stay to me that you had just got shot. Its not that I couldn't believe it, it's just that i couldn't believe this distance is keeping me from a visit. I may not know if you are okay yet, but somehow I know you survived, and even though she for now has the title, I still believe that our love had not yet died. And When I get the chance ...believe me when I say "I'm on my way," because with or without the distance, forever in my heart you will stay!
