You couldn’t know how much it hurt
that you would make that call.
It stung like a whip
yet I can’t fault you at all.
You’re using solid logic,
but what we shared was magic,
and it will be one long and lonely fall.
I miss you so fucking much sometimes.
The time and distance grew too much,
enforced a gulf of pain.
Staring down a year-long stretch
across a wide ocean.
Following career advice
came at such a damn high price,
to never feel your touch again.
I miss you so fucking much sometimes.
Much too much to ever really sweetly sleep.
Much too much, the root of this heartache runs too deep.
Torn in two, I’m torn in two,
I would run away, if I believed I could run home to you.
There’s a knife in my gut
and a hole in my heart.
The night's too slow to lie alone,
in dread of this fresh start.
I’d buckled in for the long haul,
so far gone, but standing tall.
And now, I just tear myself apart.
I miss you so fucking much sometimes.
