When I agreed to be in a long distance relationship last time
I don't think I knew
What it felt like
To want to hold the other person
But only being able to
Cling to a mobile phone screen
I don't think I knew
What it felt like
Not feeling the warmth
Of the other person
Right next to you
But feeling the cold and the emptiness
I don't think I understood
How lonely it would feel
To not have them
Right next to you
All of the time
Or whenever you wanted
They were just a drive away
But now they're a flight away
And now you can't see them everyday
You can't see them once a week even
You just wait endless months telling yourselves
"Just a few more days my love"
When in reality it's just a coping mechanism
But no one talks about that
They just talk about the fact that you have someone
Whether they're far or near
But it's just not the same
Without their warmth
Without their touch
It's just not the same.
