about

This is a song written in December of 2014 about someone I was missing back in California when I was in Boston.

lyrics

March,
Seems so far,
From where we are

As we sit,
While we stand,
On all our unmade plans

Cause here’s,
A New Year,
It feels a little far to be near

Because as,
These winter days pass,
I feel like this time won’t last

Long enough to know how much you mean to me,
Long enough to see what’s left for us to be,
Long enough to know what could’ve been a movie script ending,
Has given away to a reality that I see worth living

Long,
After I have gone,
After my plane has taken off

You will be,
Right with me,
In the fabric of my story

As I think,
About a debt,
That won’t be repaid quite yet

To you,
The one I flew,
Away from much too soon

Long enough to know how much you mean to me,
Long enough to see what’s left for us to be,
Long enough to know what could’ve been a movie script ending,
Has given away to a reality that I see worth living

Because five months was enough to see a flame,
Worth saving in a mason jar stored away,
In a heart threatened by New England cold,
An endless cycle of trying to keep from growing old,
Because as these years pass without a second glance,
At a watch bought just before my 19th chance,
At a life worth molding to my own choosing,
But I can’t help but remember what I’ve been losing

Because

March,
Seems so far,
From where we are,

But now,
Here we are,
Wondering if we ever had long enough,

Long enough to know how much you mean to me,
Long enough to see what’s left for us to be,
Long enough to know what could’ve been a movie script ending,
Has given way to a reality that I see worth living
