Three Thousand miles

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
