Mile After Mile
Longing Across Miles: A Journey of Love and Solitude
Lyrics
Somewhere past the fields.
Somewhere beyond a natural landscape.
Past the reeds and evergreens she sleeps.
In a serene environment of plants and trees, she rests.
My bright eyed, holy child.
A cherished, innocent child to me.
That dream of mine come to life.
The manifestation of my aspiration.
My sad and sweet soulmate.
My melancholic yet dear companion in life.
Mile after mile of crumbling roads spread across this
Extensive deteriorating pathways that resemble the country's network.
nation just like veins.
Similar to veins, serving as vital conduits.
They keep moving me through,
Guiding me, but also separating me from her.
Keep pushing me away from her and towards lonely beds and long cold days.
Leading me away from her towards desolate nights and bleak times.
And now I can see it.
Realization dawns upon me.
Now I just know that I've pushed too much,
Understanding that I've exerted too much.
Held too much back.
Restrained myself excessively.
I've been too much intact when I'm falling apart.
I've appeared composed while internally breaking down.
I need her now.
An urgent need for her presence.
Need her more than anything.
A necessity greater than anything else.
I'll wait while hours pass like days.
Willingness to endure time, feeling prolonged like eternity.
Until I come home,
Until I return,
Until I can touch her face.
To finally feel her gentle touch.
Until I can waste the days away in comfort and in solitude with her.
To spend leisurely days in her company, finding solace and seclusion.
Safe and secure in our home.
Feeling protected and content in our shared space.
And now I can see it.
Recognition sets in.
Now I just know that I've pushed too much,
Acknowledging an excessive exertion.
Held too much back.
Having held back too much.
I've been too much intact when I'm falling apart.
Maintaining composure despite internal turmoil.
I need her now.
Desperation for her presence.
Need her more than anything.
A need surpassing all else.
And I tell myself "Soon you'll be back home"
Self-reassurance of an impending return home.
And I tell myself "Soon you'll be back home"
Repeating the conviction of returning home soon.
"Soon you'll be back home"
Reiteration, emphasizing the anticipation of returning home.
"Soon you'll be back home"
-"Soon you'll be back home"
-"Soon you'll be back home"
-"Soon you'll be back home"
-And now I can see it.
Realization dawns upon me.
Now I just know that I've pushed too much,
Understanding that I've exerted too much.
Held too much back.
Restrained myself excessively.
I've been too much intact when I'm falling apart.
I've appeared composed while internally breaking down.
I need her now.
An urgent need for her presence.
Need her more than anything.
A necessity greater than anything else.
