Missouri is Misery

[ReverendBlackwater]

You don't think a thousand miles is far

Until the one that you love is farther.

You don't think a few weeks is a long time

Until you have to wait weeks for a phone call.

You take every moment for granted

Until you get to the very last one.

It's then that you beg for that time back.

 

I never thought a thousand miles was very far

Until I lost the one that I loved.

I never thought of our time together as precious

Until the very last time I spoke to you.

The anguish I felt when I thought

You would leave without knowing my love

Was the worst pain of my life.

 

But I was woken up by the ping

Of my cell phone.

I saw your words across the bright screen.

All at once, the pain went away.

Your love was right there before me.

I knew that the future was secure.

 

A thousand miles is far and

A few weeks is long

When the love of your life is gone

And you can't hold them in your arms

Or hear their voice.

 

It hurts you to the very core.

The loneliness and the longing

Cuts into you deeper than any knife.

You long to hold your lover close

But they are far away and you have to

Live without them for awhile.

 

Nothing hurts more

Than knowing that your one

Is sleeping somewhere without you

And you can only hope

That their dreams are of you...
