Those Miles Between Us

A few moments ago you crossed my mind.

The thoughts were kind;

sort of mild

sort of wild

For once

I did not lose much sleep last night,

Oh! You were there, don’t get me wrong.

You held me tight and something tells me

you were aware that you were there,

all night

I sit here and I smile a gentle smile because,

you sit on the north end and I sit on the south end,

of those treacherous miles between us.

The miles between us never did like us,

they worked on us, and against us.

In the winter the miles would smile, because

it would cover itself with rain, sleet & snow,

testing our love to see if it would grow

and to see how far we would go

How sad you saw the miles between us

with a magnifying glass,

and I saw them from the sky

To me the miles were an inch apart,

but to you it was a world apart,

and you did not need me that far

away from you.  You needed me there and

closer, to fulfill those special

needs that you have.

 So now once again, the miles

has covered himself with the rain,

the sleet and the snow

And once again,

You sit on the north end and

I sit on the south end,

with those treacherous miles

between us.

Those treacherous miles smiles

because he thinks… he has won,

once more
