The Short Death
Splendor short lived set the standard
Parting again established the pain.
Re-uniting soon sets the pace.
A pace to somehow keep us sane.
life is changing before our eyes.
Never again to be what we knew
And the trials we face we must embrace
They combine the me and the you.
So for a while we have space
A lonely and requisite space.
That keeps things aright as they must be
''Til we're both living in the same place.
It's coming, my love, so help me, God.
It's coming as sure as I breathe.
There's no one like you in the world for me
It's a core system of my belief.
Our time is coming and very soon
And nothing can thwart us tomorrow
So all we must do is stick to our guns
And weather short terms of sweet sorrow.
Parting again established the pain.
Re-uniting soon sets the pace.
A pace to somehow keep us sane.
life is changing before our eyes.
Never again to be what we knew
And the trials we face we must embrace
They combine the me and the you.
So for a while we have space
A lonely and requisite space.
That keeps things aright as they must be
''Til we're both living in the same place.
It's coming, my love, so help me, God.
It's coming as sure as I breathe.
There's no one like you in the world for me
It's a core system of my belief.
Our time is coming and very soon
And nothing can thwart us tomorrow
So all we must do is stick to our guns
And weather short terms of sweet sorrow.

Always good to be optomistic. Thanks

And the trials we face we must embrace They combine the me and the you. Sage advice for long-distance lovers, giving hope to all who remain in the wings.
