long distance sucks <3

i wish i would've told you i love you

when i still had the gift of nearness

but i choked on the words at the time

and resigned myself to basking in your presence

i wish i would've told you i love you

when we were gazing into each other's eyes

and wrapped in each other's arms

the words hung in the air like a poisonous gas

they had the strength to change us forever

but in the air, they stayed, for another eight months

i wish i would've told you i love you

when all i had to do was reach out

and i'd feel your skin on my palm

the screen is so cold, you know

i long for your warmth

i wish i would've told you i love you

when you were close enough to kiss

because now you're far away

and we still haven't shared our first

even though i told you i love you

months after you were here
