Book Cover & Preview Text
And I’ve crossed the ocean, my dear. I’ve climbed up taller mountains Swam in water that are clearer than your blue eyes I’ve watched many sunsets without you, Because the endings aren’t so bad anymore I realize now that I can’t spend the rest of my life coming back to you Because I’ve seen new people Whether it’d be the hundred that have passed by my table outside the café Or the one that sat across from me on the two hour train ride I’ve fallen in love with being alone. It’s taken me for what seems an eternity because I’ve been right here all along.
