People ask
"Who is he?"
And I get to feel that twinge in my heart
The pull of 580 miles
That were too far
And the 8 hours that were too long
And a smile will tug on my lips
And I'll tell them of the bittersweet
11 days in which I met
This amazing person
Who had a space
In my time warped heart
His smile, his eyes
Engrained in my mind
I don't keep your pictures because I think I'll forget
No
I keep the pictures because whenever I need to feel alive
To feel that twinge in my heart
That reminds me it's still beating
I just have to look at your face
And remember
The rolling green hills, the bustling cities, and the Eiffel Tower
Our little infinity
Across the ocean
destiny how we met
life that tore us apart
Ripping and pulling on our connected heartstrings
We grew further while hanging on
Until we realized we had already let go
I watched the distance grow
I learned how far 580 miles could be
And I learned heartbreak
I learned that even if two people like eachother
Sometimes it still doesn't work
Life doesn't work out for the better
Not for us
I hope that someday
Destiny will step in again
And we will cross paths
I hope to see your smile in person again
I hope we will be able to push past the haze
To remember
Goodbye is too painful
So we haven't said it
Is it more painful to say goodbye or to watch it happen
We are haunted by words we didn't use
And time took over
It's too late for now
But maybe I'll see you again New York
