Million Miles

I feel I'm a million miles from you
A million miles
From where I'm meant to be
A million miles away
From the one who's meant to be everything
And the worst things is
I'm beginning to feel it's where I'm meant to be

My mind is all about this poem today.... some words for the feelings are nice to read.

Thanks.

I don't really like country music or Dwight Yoakam, but there is at least ONE song that I like a lot. This poem reminds me of it. Mr. Yoakam has a soul stirrer called "A Thousand Miles From Nowhere" that you might have heard. Check it out if you haven't. I think you have a kindred spirit there.

Love the last line! The longing in the preceding ones ending in this is really the crown on this one! Its when we realise that we CAN be free is when we ARE free!

Thanks for the read.

Ok Michelle, i rarely, almost never, infact i can count the times on my left hand that i have gone into breaking up a poem for comment that is not time, but i liek this so much, and it touched so tenderly that i am going to, if you don't mind...

"I feel i'm a million miles from you" - "I feel i am a million miles from you'
"a million miles" - 'yes, a million miles"
"from where i am meant to be" - "i am " again - also this line is the soul of the poem, i wish i could give something to enlarge it...sigh
'A million miles away" again i prefer "yes" in front
"from the one who's meant to be everything" "who's = who is" for me when i change the abreviations to the full text it gives me more feeling and honor for the message.
"And the worst thing is" - i do not like AND and perhaps this could be posed as a question?
"I am beginning to feel it's where i'm meant to be" - I am beginning to feel it is where i am meant to be" - this line just broke my heart, Michelle.

Thank you for a wonderful read.

A great piece of angling - you land your fish, Michelle.
