One Million Miles

 

One million miles

Is how far away

The night shines so brightly

Yet they go away

I may as well be

Standing on Mars

With my feet on the ground

As I reach for the stars

I might as well be

A castaway on an isle

The oceans that keeps us

Away with its miles

I look at the moon

Wonder if you see the same

Do you think about me?

Do you whisper my name?

I am far away

Over hills, fields, and land

Across this great continent

Further than I had planned

I’ve come to this place

Where nothing I’ve known

Where truth has not been founded

To me it is not shown

Where I am a stranger

In a strange land, I await

And when I return

This I anticipate

From across this distance

Thoughts of you cross my mind

How I thought I had lost you

And you I would never again find

And now when I think

That I may see you once more

I shall then remember

What I might have known before

Or better yet things

That I had not yet known

But in time you reveal

And to me I am shown

What that person once was

And what they have come to be

What has happened to you

What has happened to me

And then we shall see

What has happened all this while

Over these last few years

And one million miles
