This morning while inside the bus going to work, I heard a song that made my tears well up:

THE DISTANCE by Evan and Jaron

The sky has lost it’s color
The sun has turned to grey
At least that’s how it feels to me
Whenever you’re away
I crawl up in the corner
As I watch the minutes pass
Each one brings me closer to
The time you’re comin’ back

I can’t take the distance
I can’t take the miles
I can’t take the time until I next see you smile
I can’t take the distance
And I’m not ashamed
That with every breath I take I’m callin’ your name

But I can’t take the distance

I still believe my feelings
But sometimes I feel too much
I make believe you’re close to me
But it ain’t close enough
Not nearly close enough

I can’t take the distance
I can’t take the miles
I can’t take the time until I next see you smile
I can’t take the distance
And I’m not ashamed
That with every breath I take I’m callin your name

I brave fire and I brave rain
To be by your side I’d do anything
I can’t take the distance

I will go the distance
I will go the miles
That’s how much you mean to me

‘Cause I can’t take the distance
I can’t take these miles
I can’t take the time until I next see you smile
I can’t take the distance
And I’m not ashamed
That with every breath I take I’m calling your name
I can’t take the distance

It’s hard to remember
As long as you’re away
When I find solace
There’s only one YOU.
