The Journey (revised)

I've traveled the country to see you,

gotten as close as I possibly could.

You're just around the corner,

would you take the last steps?

I can't come any further

the distance between us is short.

I’ll just sit here waiting,

Waiting for you to come

It hurts to be so close

and still so far away;

The journey was long,
but it’s not over yet

.

My heart is aching,

patiently waiting.

Is it worth the distance,

am I worth it to you?

How many the miles?
Twelve hundred, I've counted.
Our friendship has survived
the distance this long.

But now I'm so close,
so close to you.
You said you would come,
but the hour came

and I sat alone.
