Drifting, drowning, dreaming - I think I died last night.

note #47

Hey do you remember
That time it snowed
When we slid down the hill until
Our faces were chapped
And all we could do was laugh?
I remember when you said
It wasn't that far;
We'd still be friends.
That was when the world was small
And distance didn't mean a thing at all
In our young minds so lost for time.
Do you remember those nights
We stared up at the stars
And out at different bright cities,
Separated by the miles but seconds away across the lines?
I remember how you took my hand
And breathed my name between your lips.
It was divine until you left,
Stole my heart,
Left a hole in my chest.
Hey do you remember
That night you took my heart
And left me crying in the dark?
I remember when you said
It's not that far;
But you were wrong -
Seattle's nowhere near your neighborhood at all.
