Who would’ve thought that a one chance meeting
Ever so fleeting would send my heart beating
After it’s been sleeping, longing, gestating for my entire lifespan.
That you were the man I would call my heart, my soul, my future
Making me whole, making me wait
Miles away may as well be light years but it’s better than nonexistent
Better than not at all.
You reached out to me, bold and unafraid I can see your hand even if I can’t touch
But those days have gone and now I have touched, I’ve kissed, I’ve become one with
My long-distance love.
You are no longer a dream in my head
You became real holding me in my bed
I remember the night that you became real
Love became real, we became real
My god I must be dreaming but clearly, I’m not
And can’t wait for the day when the distance is gone.
Gone be the distance, gone be the longing
Long live our love no longer long distant.
