Between the MileI have always counted the miles. Sometimes they came quick, Other times slow. The distance between things, The way I could know. Close could feel far, And far could feel near. The miles that passed too quickly, The ones I ran out of fear. They weren’t all the same, So I had been told, The unmarked trails, And the days I was bold. Some miles went down, Spiraling so low, When I was afraid to look forward, There was nowhere to go. The sunset came fast, And the day turned to night, But the trails could be endless, If I looked at them right. Everything I knew, All I was told, The conversations left behind, The people who grew old. When the miles stretched out before me, I wanted to sew them at the seam, Looking forward and then back, Holding everything in between. . Jacqueline Simon Gunn
About This Quote

There was a time in my life when I believed that if I just had more miles, then I would have everything I ever wanted. I tried to find the right miles, the ones that were close, and the ones that were far. Still, they weren’t all the same and there was no way to tell how they would end. The distances weren’t measured out in kilometers or miles; they were unmarked trails and there was no clear direction.

Some nights we traveled too fast; we ran out of fear, and we went down spiraling so low when we were afraid to look forward. But there is always a way back and there is always a tomorrow.
