"Distance gives us a reason to love harder."-by Anon

(So far away- Carole King)

So far away

Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore

It would be so fine to see your face at my door

Doesn't help to know you're just time away

Long ago I reached for you and there you stood

Holding you again could only do me good

Oh, how I wish I could

But you're so far away

One more song about moving along the highway

Can't say much of anything that's new

If I could only work this life out my way

I'd rather spend it being close to you

But you're so far away

Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore

It would be so fine to see your face at my door

Doesn't help to know you're so far away

Yeah, you're so far away

Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely

Nothing else to do but close my mind

I sure hope the road don't come to own me

There's so many dreams I've yet to find

But you're so far away

Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore

It would be so fine to see your face at my door

And it doesn't help to know you're so far away

Yeah, you're so far away

Hey, you're so far away"

Hindi yata magsasawang pakinggan ni Cleo Sai ang kantang nagpla-play sa music player niya habang kausap niya si Tayr. Halos kabisado na nga niya ito, ultimo instrumental music.

Paano ba naman kasi? Tugmang-tugma talaga yan sa relasyon nilang dalawa. US ang nobyo niya, Philippines naman siya; Manila siya, Washington, D.C. naman ito. Milya-milyang layo to be exact.

Paano ba sila nagkakilala? Paano nga ba?

"Ma, we're going out," paalam niya sa kaniyang Ina. Isasama niya ang kapatid niya sa paggala. Aniya, kailangan niya munang makalabas sa rehas, sa bahay rather.
