Long Distance

"A great relationship is what we yearn for
Along the way we have a few, and from those we learn more
You need trust, communication, and honesty
What's ideal? We have no clue honestly
We face many problems to try and make them last
Some end because of lust, others because of the past
Some end because we 'spend too much time together'
We then forget to appreciate what it took to get her
What's worse is the issue of being far apart
Can't just see your other half, but you put on a fake smile and play the part
Even distance shouldn't be enough to cause a break up
You wish for the day she's the first face you see once you wake up
If the distance tears you apart, then it wasn't meant to be
It's all from the heart, it's a little piece of me
I've been through this once, never thought I'd be willing
But the heart wants what it wants, who was I kidding
I remember not knowing what to expect, when we lived on the phone
Once we hung up, I felt all alone
It really was a test, this long distance dating
But I remember once she was here, it was all worth the waiting
The late night talks about what we would do once the plane lands
Me? I didn't care, as long as were able to finally hold hands
The little things I learned to love, even if I didn't her
Where it was headed, I really wasn't sure
We eventually ended, and I'm proud to say the miles didn't kill us
Instead, it brought us closer and it filled us
Don't ever say that long distance wouldn't work, and that it isn't something you would do
That's what I said years ago, and now I'm writing this for you."
