it was true a year and a half ago...

across the distance

a heart is breaking across the distance
i never expected this final good bye
why didn’t you stage a stronger resistance
you could have fought for me, tough guy

it started with such beautiful words
you drew big plans, then locked them away
life set aside for another day
around you I fabricated new standards

but somewhere between your heart and mine
there was a love I couldn’t understand
it was there for a while then faded like a smile
darkness fell, leaving us in no man’s land

we were just wasting time
throwing pain back and forth
never seeing what is was worth
in our delusion it was a victimless crime

but I can’t stop loving you
outside you I have no place to go
i move through a new world trying to make do
i never could have stayed through another frost and snow

but I never stop thinking about you
i miss you more than I should
i think we misunderstood
what was really true

now only the carnage of what could never be remains
in despair I try not to care
i should move on and start a new campaign
but all I can do is wish you were here
