The Distance of Regret

I wrote this while I was dating a guy who moved to California for school, and I realized that I had taken him for granted after he left. He ended up being a jerk, though!

 

 

I wanted just a day or two without you

Now I can't bear to go another day without you

I let your words stir useless anger inside of me

Now your words are all that's left of you for me

 

Distance makes us wise,

But for that we pay a price,

We regret and mourn,

The hearts we've torn

 

I thought I'd never lose you when you chased me then,

I thought I could hurt you and you'd be back again,

Then you left to chase a dream and I held open the door,

But not a day goes by that I don't regret not holding you more

 

Distance makes us wise,

But for that we pay a price,

We regret and mourn,

The hearts we've torn

 

My friends wonder if I'll be unfaithful in my lonely state,

I tell them I'm not lonely but angry with fate,

I didn't mind being alone until I fell in love with you,

Now no one else could fill this void but you

 

Distance makes us wise,

But for that we pay a price,

We regret and mourn,

The hearts we've torn

 

I lie awake in bed and stare where you once lay,

And I hold my blanket tightly and pray,

I pray that you will take that place again,

And that I'll still be in your heart until the end.
