Miles Apart Love

I trace your face in the midnight air

Your laugh echoes but you’re not there

The clock just ticks and mocks the pain

Another night I whisper your name

The miles stretch wide like a cruel divide

I hold the phone but it can’t hold you inside

Your voice is warm but the touch is cold

A longing ache that never grows old

Oh my love it’s a fight with time

Chasing moments that once were mine

The screen can’t feel the tears I cry

Another day I’m asking why

I dream of roads that bring us close

Of bridges built on love we chose

Every waking hour feels surreal

Your heart’s so far but mine can feel

The pillow's empty where you should lay

Your scent’s a ghost that won’t stay

In this tunnel I keep searching for light

But your absence blinds me every night

Oh my love it’s a fight with time

Chasing moments that once were mine

The screen can’t feel the tears I cry

Another day I’m asking why
