We're so far away from you

I said turn around..

we had enjoyed our lunch 

and went back to the bus

"so will when is the show?" 

"Oh tomorrow we should go over the set list huh?" 

"Yeah we should I need to know what songs I am going to be playing." 

"Alright we will as soon as we get back for now I just want to relax." 

"Cool."

We watched the mischief twins run around and chase each other. and laugh 

tomorrow they would have on their concert outfits.

they wore matching outfits 

red and black one 

Luke wore a red shirt and black pants and carried his guitar and Annabelle wore a red dress with a black bow going around her waist and carried her drumsticks. 

they had always wore those outfits when I was playing. 

they insisted on nothing else but those outfits.

"Well those are the songs but we need one more to fill it out. But I will think of one later, I think you should put those two to bed. they look like they are ready to drop."

they were laying against each other with their eyes closed.

"Yeah Matt help me." 

"I will take Luke you take Bells."

we out them in their bunk and tucked them in.

"Wait moma no we want a lullaby." 

"Yeah mama please?" 

"You two look like you are ready to drop." 

"Please moma."

gosh they were so like Gee, those eyes. 

I swear. the were almost splitting images of him.

you could tell who was talking to me 

because Luke called me moma 

and Annabelle called me mama

"Oh alright which one?" 

"The one about daddy." 

"Yeah mama, the only exception." 

"are you sure." 

"yes"

they both replied.

"alright."

I got my guitar and they got closer and held each others hands.

I held my breath this song was always difficult for me to sing. 

it just hit a soft spot in my heart.

"When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind. 

He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to reassemble it. 

And my mama swore that she would never let herself forget. 

and that was the day that I promised I'd never would sing of love if it does not exist. 

But darling you are the only exception. 

you are the only exception 

you are the only exception 

you are the only exception"

and then they were out for good before I got to the second verse.

I didn't notice Will was standing there.
