In the Mood for Writing - Long Long Journey to Love

I guess it's been a long time since I came here.


Then again, it's been a long time since I've written anything besides assignments. It's sad, isn't it?

But today, I'm down. I need to write. So, let me rant for a while, can you?

~

It's a long long journey to love,

He said,

As we lay side by side

Surrounded by ashes and dust

It's a long long journey to love

He said,

As we stood quietly together

In front of the memorial tomb

It's a long long journey to love

He said,

As I stood behind him,

Tracing the stripes that lined his body

It's a long long journey to love

He said,

Because I need to learn

Because we need to learn

It's a long long journey to love,

I know,

Because he needs the time,

And I need the space.

It's a long long journey to love,

I said,

A thousand miles

A thousand smiles

A thousand hurts

and a thousand pains

It's a long long journey to love,

we know,

and we left.

War heroes,

Survivors,

Lost.
