The Pain in Miles

For those who want someone you can't reach.

By Kathleen ToomeyPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Waiting; just waiting

My patience is running out

Watching and waiting and hoping and praying

So far away, but still I keep saying

That one day it’ll all work out

Buried inside me

My true feelings lie in wait

Hiding the truth behind humor and smiles

Separated by miles and miles

The distance still hasn’t stopped me

And oh, how I wish

That it was I in her place

It seems that you love her with all of your heart

Could that have been me, if we weren’t apart

I can’t help but keep hoping…
