The distance
love conqueres all, even death cant sever the bonds of two heart, the bond of true love
We start so close, nearly joined at the hip
if you went down I’d sink with your ship
young and naive at one time I believed
that somethings last forever, at a later time
i saw, i was blind nothing seemed to fade when we were together
together we grew and swore that we knew everything there was under the sun
neither young nor naive it was love we conceived in the midst of innocent fun
a love that could last and for the longest it has, but then you went away
my heart then so hollow, regrets to no follow to this hour I curse that day
but we stayed in touch and visited much, or rather as much as we could
our hearts and mind devoted, as time passed be as it should all was good
fate brought u back, we made a pact again one another we’d never leave
and then you enlisted as your father insisted soon turmoil that promise would be
but we stood strong and on your last come home you left me with a ring
you had yet to know a child would grow, a surprise it came to me
patiently awaiting your return and our new baby i found you still werent aware
just days before war i signed and sealed our secret praying it’d make it there
with no way to know i anticipated a response to show
the mailbox still dry I fought the urge to cry I feared what I might not know
when the mail did come I wish there was none my innards could sense the bad news
but nothing could prepare a heart for the despair, as it expected a minor bruise
it said you were gone never to return home and never to say good bye
I blamed our great distance as the universe persisted in draining the joy from my life
the stress took the child I didnt eat for a while I longed for death late at night
and at last my strength so pour my numb heart I felt your love no more
I made amends with the noose kicked the chair and said good bye to the floor
I lost the battle found the keys to the castle and there you were waiting for me
my heart it knew if anything was true that love wouldnt let you leave
after the war as imagine with gore none is left but gravel
but beneath it one thing showed and so glad now i know
love goes the distance that cant be traveled
