Safe Distance

I saw you so long ago
But I’ve still got your scent on my pillow.
And I keep hoping the day will come,
When we can put an end to this graceless run.
So many nights I see your face
Fighting a war in a distant place,
But I can’t sing to keep you safe.
I break all the rules when it comes to you.
I spread myself so thin till you come to my rescue.
And I keep thinkin' I will come around,
And keep on running when you have left the ground.
All of this time I felt so sure
It wasn’t I who was fighting for
Peace, so, we’ve got an open door.
And though what you said before you had to leave,
made my doubts quickly vanish; gave me everything I need,
I still dream and I dread the heights we may not reach.
I know that it’s time I hold on tight,
So we might have a chance, at a future life.
And I remember what you said to me
Right before it was my turn to leave;
You said, you’ve gotta now, chase your dream,
I’m right behind you, listening,
For the, day you make the world sing.
