coming back around

The wonderful thing about being a million miles away 

is that you don't think about it as much.

Of course you still miss it,

you will always miss it like hell,

like it's the only thing in your life you need

because it's the only thing in your life you're lacking.

Or maybe the wonderful thing about being a million miles away

is the cliche - appreciate.

You wonder how their days go on,

parallel to yours,

and you are still somehow surprised when you realize time moves in much the same way everywhere we are.

And the wonderful thing about being a million miles away

is you are your own

and you finally find others who are the same,

you finally know others in a way you never knew before.

  

In the end the wonderful thing about being a million miles away,

flying out here all alone,

is that you are no longer who you used to be

but in a good way,

in a kind of wonderful way.
