Hundreds of Miles Away

Through all the pain and heartbreak,
Through every hurt and scar.
You put everything at stake,
Just to help me fight my war.

You held me when I cried,
And you wiped away my fears.
You put everything else aside,
And kissed away my tears.

You made it seem ok,
When it was falling apart.
In just the simple words you say,
You captured my broken heart.

My broken heart you mended,
And you'll never let it break.
My pain for now has ended,
And I have only you to thank.

I only wish you could be here,
To hold me in your arms.
I hopefully wish you'll be near,
To save me from any harm.

I watch these people all around me,
The ones I call my family and friends.
But they don't see what I see,
They only see the dead ends.

They dance their way through love,
And don't see why true love is so rare.
And I thank God above,
That I have someone like you that truly cares.

They all disapprove,
They say you're too far away.
But I have nothing to prove,
I'll love you anyway.

I just can't explain,
My growing love for you.
It doesn't leave me with an empty pain,
It gives me something to look forward to.

Some people can relate,
They know what it's like to fall in love on the net.
It just seems like fate,
And I'll never forget.

The times you told me you would always love me,
You know I feel the same.
And it's very plain to see,
I'm not playing a simple game.

Love is so complex,
And always gives me butterflies.
It's a never-ending vortex,
Here there are no goodbyes.

I can't always say what I want to say,
And I really wish I could.
I wish you weren't so far away,
Because then I really could.

Hundreds of miles away, you have such a powerful effect,
On my heart and on my soul.
On my dreams this will reflect,
And in a letter will unfold.

The words I see you write,
And the words I long to hear you say.
"I'll hold you close at night,
I don't care how long it might take."

I want to hold on for forever,
But I'm afraid that you will go.
You promised you would leave me never,
And this is true I know.

I want you here by my side,
As I have clearly said.
This romance is in for one long ride,
My fears of losing you are gone and dead.

Hold me in your heart,
Until I can rest safe within your arms so peacefully.
And it won't be so hard to part,
When you say that you love me.

And we will be together if it takes a lifetime,
Even if it takes an eternity.
And then I won't waste my time,
Wait then and you will see.

I'll be yours,
And you'll be mine.
I love you more and more,
Every time.
