Maybe one day I wont have to miss you.

Because youll be here.

Acting as if I dont think of you, even though I cant get you out of my head.

Emptiness filling us instead.

Because well stop these games we play with one anothers hearts.

Because well finally grow up and tell one another how we feel.

Because well decide that distance cannot, will not have power over who we are and could become.

Because well believe in love far more than we fall victim to fear.

And then well step forward in faith.

Well reach for one anothers hands.

Well stop letting the past dictate our future, or our hesitancy allow us to miss out on possibility.

Well quit talking ourselves out of a potential romance.

Well push the negative thoughts from our mind and focus on the good.

Well quit trying to control love, plan love, analyze love and let it happen.

Maybe one day we wont have all these hypotheticals, these maybes these ideas that never fall to fruition.

In one anothers arms.

Maybe one day I wont have to miss you.Because youll be mine.
