I`m always assuming the worst,
but you`re going on none the less
& there`s nothing to cusion your heart led fall.
Letters from further away
keep pulling me close to home.
And there`s something to cushion my callous sighs.
And I know that you hope for
longer good-byes
embracing for forever
and falling in your eyes.
Pouring over photographs.
I`m living in your letters.
Breathe deeply from this envelope
it smells like you & I can`t be
without that scent. It`s filling me
with all you mean to me.
Continually failing these trials
but you stand by me nonetheless
& you won`t let me sink
though I`m beggin you.
Phone calls from further away
& messages on my machine,
but I don`t ever tell you this distance
seems terrible.
There is no need to test my heart,
with useless space.
These roads go on forever
& so do you and I.
So I`ll hit the pavement
it`s gotta be better than waiting
& pushing you far away
cause I`m scared.
So I`ll take my chances
& head on my way up there.
Cause turning to you is like falling in love when you`re ten.
