from so far away

so when you walk that same walk
down the stairs from your apartment
to that same bus stop
when you listen to music
and sit on that same bus
will you think of me?
wishing i was there with you
holding your hand
silently sharing all the simple moments
all the times we can't seem to hold on to
from so far away
so when you get up in the morning
and the cold wood floor
reminds you of the slippers i bought you
that you took off because it was too hot last night
will you think about me?
how i would be the one to warm you and wrap you in your robe
and i could be the one
to wash your hair in the shower
and dry you when you are wet and cold
how i could be your one and only, everyday.
do you think of me
when you do what you do
walking to school to class to class
to shop and store and restaurants
how i want those times
and who is going to tie your shoe
when you are tired and sad?
when you are feeling the weight of the day
and you want to throw it all away

how my heart breaks everyday i cannot be that one
how i long to be your one and only, everyday
in the most simple and beautiful way.
