365 days

by Laura   Sep 28, 2006


It's been about a year now,
& I'm still getting by,
as I sit & watch TV,
your probably admiring the tide.
I just happen to stop & think,
as my show began to end,
Why don't I write a letter
to my far away friend.
Well I started off with the usual,
How are you? How have you been?
but then I stopped for a minute,
laid aside my writing pen.
I never had to do this before
I thought inside my mind,
I used to be able to just call her,
didn't matter what day or what time.
But now we're on two different schedules,
trapped in two separate worlds,
we're now two different people,
with our minds in separate whirls.
I knew this wouldn't be easy,
but no one said it'd be this hard,
I haven't seen you in 365 days,
& that breaks my little heart.
Our six hour phone talks,
are now cut down to few,
my every weekend plans,
were gone when I lost you.
Things sure are different now,
& it's hard to keep in touch,
maybe one day we'll understand,
why we're apart so freaking much.
I don't quite understand it,
maybe it's just something I can't see,
I blinked at the wrong moment,
now this is way things have to be.
I guess I should end this,
since a common point, it lacks,
I just thought I'd let you know,
I really want you back.
