A Little Distance Between Us

The white bled across the sky,
Leaving no trace of the daytime,
And only leaving traces of innocence,
Innocence I cannot claim as my own.

One day we’ll see everything right,
When the brook floods the bridge,
When the mud is washed away,
When we can pass with no fear of drowning.

You are more important than you know,
Each breath you take is a small comfort to me,
As long as I know you’re still living I know I am,
Even with the collapsed road between us I’m here.

There are times I have these crazy ideas,
Where I wish I had a voice like a piano,
That could travel the distance to reach you,
And you could hear me singing miles away.

I want to make you miss me but I know something,
I know that despite what you say you miss me too,
Even if the flower wilted, died, we still planted it together.
Let your head down, release your pain, we needn’t hate.
