The sky has lost its color
The sun has turned to grey
At least that's how it feels to me
Whenever you're away...

I crawl up in a corner
As I watch the minutes pass
Each one brings me closer to
The time when you'll be back...
You're coming back...

I can't take the distance
I can't take the miles
I can't take the time until I next see you smile
I can't take the distance
I'm not ashamed
I can't take a breath without saying your name...

I can't breath...

"The Distance" by Evan and Jeron. Beautiful song... I've decided that Kadin is going to have to hear it, because every time I hear it I can imagine him singing it, I can imagine me singing it to him, so loud, so pure, so full of every sad and beautiful emotion we've ever felt...

...and not only him. This... there's a lot of names, a lot of voices, a lot of people it brings to mind. I realize, listening, how many of my closest friends are far away.

I don't know what to do to bring them closer.

I don't know how to survive without them.

I don't know how to be me without them.

I don't know how to exist.

I can't take the distance...
