distance




How far is it really, from you and I?

It is 542 miles.

That's 8 hours and 49 minutes.

That's 24 months,  730 days, 104 weeks.

That's 17,520 hours, that's 1,051,200 minutes and 63,072,000 seconds

before I can see you again.

That's four birthdays, 24 happy month anniversaries.

That's two years of missing the better half of me.

I had you for a fucking week

and now you have to leave for 2 years.

Really fucking fair.

write. no rhyme. no reservations.

  2. distance isn't always measured in miles
    it was like clockwork, gears and bolts grinding against one another to create some sense of system, some reassurance of time.

            I thought it was college

            Breaks do sound good But then... the whole two years poem above... is it a song or did you write it?

              No not college. To save his parents marriage they must move. Fresh start. All that good junk. And the above thing...not sure what it is, but yes, I wrote it. Twas how I felt.
