You, a thousand miles away,
are better than anyone who’s near.
Used tears, recycled,
saved
for a rainy day.
And while our accused fears have gone away,
I’d confuse years for seconds
for an eternity
if I had to.
I’d love you from a distance
for a lifetime, but I’d
be mad to.
A sad you is an unhappy me.
And while I don’t know what’s happening,
I just hope the part where you and I are together at last
happens fast.
But either way… please hear what I say:
You, a thousand miles away,
are better than anyone who’s here today.
