I'm sorry we never made it,
But know that I was willing to come halfway.
Our distance kept on expanding,
Even though I lived forty-two minutes away.
Talking + texting overtime,
Sending each other recs & songs.
But it’s funny how you felt that
Forty-two minutes was way too long.
I heard you met up with your friends,
When I'd been talking to you since last May.
It's a shame you never came here instead,
For I only lived forty-two minutes away.
Do you know how elated I was?
When you bought yourself a car,
You took long drives to the seams of the city,
But forty-two minutes seemed too far.
I said I hadn’t been feeling well for days,
Yet you never dropped by once,
That’s the moment it clicked for me
How forty-two minutes made all the difference.
You once said you'd give me the world,
And that might've been true,
But all I had ever wanted was
Forty-two minutes from you.
