Soon

Black roads and dark clouds fill the space between us. Longing for each others company and love is what fills our days now. As the rain hits the windshield it hits my heart too. The foggy windows keep me from seeing you. My heart sinks as each mile I climb creates a gap so wide between us. Your words echo in my head, your smile is etched into my mind, and your eyes are all I see when I close mine. I grip the reality of leaving you and my heart shatters. I can almost feel the blood draining from my body, and leaving me an empty lifeless shell. White line after white line counts the distance between us. What are we to now? A hundred? A thousand? A million? Hours spent alone without you, without your smile, is what kills me. "Soon." you say. When is soon though? It seems to far away to be real. By my side for an eternity is how it's supposed to go. So where are you? Back in the place I left you, with your hand empty and cold. "Soon." I repeat to myself. Soon isn't soon enough.
