Distance

From the moment I met you
 My life was never the same
 I think about you of the time
 And I didn’t even know your name

 Deep in my heart you light a fire
 That will forever burn in my soul
 An ever lasting eternal flame
 That’s burning out of control

 I know you’re the woman in my dreams
 The love I have been searching for
 Now I’m happy but still so very sad
 The distance between us is torture

 I wish to be hold close in your arms
 And become part of your heart beat
 You own my life my body and soul
 Although both of us has never meet

 I miss her more than she will ever know
 And yes sometimes my tears do fall
 And my heart races like speeding train
 When she text me or calls

 A Man will cry for the woman he loves
 But he is to macho to let her know
 So he keeps that emotional side hidden
 And puts on a false bravado

 I pretend that I’m not dying inside
 But I miss her like crazy
 And when she smiles with me
 My heart just melts inside of me

 Without her my life means nothing
 And I know I will surely die
 And just like the trees on the banks
 Of a river that runs dry

 I don’t know when I will get to see her
 Some things we don’t have control over
 But I can’t wait for that time to come
 To be on a plane from New York to Malaysia

 When she’s walking on the streets 
 She looks like just a regular girl
 But to me she’s an angel from above
 That god has send down to this world

 I love her with all my heart and soul
 And my heart stops at her feet
 And the day she hugs me
 My life will be complete

 When you meet that special person
 You know right away who they are 
 They’re the blood the flows to your heart
 The one you will love forever 

 The distance between us is torture
 And many times my tears fall to the floor
 I know one day I will be in your life
 And be happy for ever more
