Title: Three Thousand Miles
Verse 1
I met you back in 2009
Didn’t know your name would mark my time
Most beautiful man I’d ever seen
Gentle hands, soft-spoken dreams
You said you were intrigued by me
I was shy, hiding quietly
Too afraid to hear your voice
Too scared to make that choice
Verse 2
We texted through the changing years
Typed out hopes, typed out fears
Two long years behind a screen
Wondering what “us” could mean
Then one night I let the phone ring through
And suddenly the world was you
Hours passed like minutes do
When hearts finally speak the truth
Chorus
Three thousand miles, but you crossed them all
Wouldn’t take no, wouldn’t let me fall
You flew from D.C. just to be
With me on my birthday
You looked just like your photograph
Only better standing there
I knew my life would never be
The same after you
Verse 3
I picked you up at the airport gate
My hands were shaking, I couldn’t wait
You smiled and time just slipped away
Like the world paused in that moment’s grace
That night you held me close and slow
Showed me a love I didn’t know
I felt so seen, so chosen, so true
I cried thinking of losing you
Chorus
Three thousand miles, but you made it feel
Like distance wasn’t even real
You made me feel so special then
You still do now
Even when the morning came too soon
And goodbye hung heavy in the room
I wondered how my heart would learn
To let you go
Bridge
Though you’re far, you’re still right here
In every word, in every tear
We still talk, we still believe
Hope lives quietly in me
Tomorrow’s just a mystery
But love doesn’t need certainty
Final Chorus
Three thousand miles, but love remains
Stronger than time, stronger than pain
You’re the most amazing man I know
No matter where life leads us to go
I don’t know what tomorrow brings
But hope still sings your name
Three thousand miles
And I still love you
