miles away

i look at the sky and i love you.

it's pink and purple and maroon and yellow.

and i think oh

how beautiful is that?

you're walking down streets

that i don't walk down.

you're living a life;

and i'm logging onto my phone

to tell you how well you're doing.

(we're miles away.)

but isn't that just so wonderful?

i see a sky you haven't seen

and i send it to you. (think of you.)

you show me a love

from miles away.

i breathe. (in, out.)

and i think

oh, how beautiful

to be loved from a distance.

but you're close.

you see me, you're close and far

and oh, i see it. how close you are.

i look at the sky and i am loved.

let it always be pink.

let it always be purple.

let it always be maroon.

let it always be yellow.

let it always be,

until we meet,

and find patterns of friendship in the clouds.

until then, my best friend.

until then.

(i'll smile as i wait.)

the sky will be beautiful.
