The Longest Distance

“I love you,” I tell you as I rest my head on my pillow 

Thinking 

Wishing 

Hoping 

For that physical connection I long for as you’re in your bed 

And I’m in mine 

I want to be close to you 

I want to hold you 

I want to love you 

In more ways than words can carry 

I think about you a lot y’know 

I think about how good we are and how great we can be together 

I want us to last forever 

I never want to come down from this high 

With you, everything lasts longer 
Everything feels lighter 

And I feel like I can be myself and not hide behind some mask like how I do with others 

But we’re being stopped 

The touch 

The notes 

The dates 

The Everything 

All because of this distance 

Those hours away 

You’re halfway across the world 

I’m 14 and you’re 15 

But I want to be with you for as long as I live
