Long Distance Us

Miles apart
But I know I'll see you soon
Love decided that I wanted to be with
Just someone like you
I kept looking for someone like you in my town
Just to realize that a little us
Needed to be a long distance us
Not a small town, oh you're the boy next door us
But a long distance, we have to drive 443 miles to even see each other love
It's torture
Being so far apart
Not being able to hug you
Snuggle with you
Make cookies at three am but thats okay
Because I'd rather be with you
Than someone who won't treat me right who's right around the corner
Knowing I can only hear your voice through my headphones
Knowing you have to speak through one iPod microphone just to get me to listen to you
Knowing that you decide to love me
Out of any other one special lover that is right in your town
But you choose me
That one person who lives so many miles apart
It's trust
It's trust because you must love before the trust honestly more dearly sets in
And though you can't hold me when I cry
You hold me over the camera that allows us to be with each other
Because though we are so far
You still care enough to want to be my phone call at three am
Wanting to be that call
Knowing that I'm in pain, hurts you
So you make sure I feel safe
So you hold me through our cameras
Pet the hair that you don't know what actually feels like
But that's okay
Because at the end of the night we can fall asleep on Skype
And say I love you
And I love you too
