Ten
minutes
away…
Still
feels
like
a
lifetime.
You
packed
your
bags
for
your
parents'
place
Needed
a
rest,
a
quiet
space
to
heal
your
face
I
watched
you
go
with
a
heart
full
of
hope
Believing
this
distance
was
just
a
rope
To
help
us
pull
closer
when
you
returned
But
the
candles
I
lit
are
the
only
things
that
burned
We
lived
ten
minutes
apart,
a
short
walk
down
the
lane
I
visited
daily
to
chase
away
the
rain
To
blur
out
the
space
that
kept
you
from
me
But
you
found
a
new
rhythm,
Sylvie,
can't
you
see?
Oh,
Syl,
why
did
you
stay?
You’
re
only
ten
minutes,
ten
minutes
away
You
found
comfort
in
roots
that
belong
to
the
past
Leaving
the
soil
that
we
planted
to
last
Now
I’
m
standing
here,
tilling
the
earth
on
my
own
While
you’
re
building
a
life
in
a
house
not
our
home.
You
settled
in
deep
in
that
familiar
ground
Where
the
weight
of
others
is
all
that
is
found
Responsibilities
that
weren't
ours
to
bear
You
took
them
on,
left
me
gasping
for
air
We
could
have
sorted
it
here,
side
by
side
But
you
chose
the
shadow
where
you
could
hide
Those
things
that
belong
to
a
life
left
behind
Are
blurring
the
vision
I
kept
in
my
mind
I
see
you
changing,
drifting
further
from
view
While
I’
m
still
the
same,
still
waiting
for
you.
Oh,
Syl,
why
did
you
stay?
You’
re
only
ten
minutes,
ten
minutes
away
You
found
comfort
in
roots
that
belong
to
the
past
Leaving
the
soil
that
we
planted
to
last
Now
I’
m
standing
here,
tilling
the
earth
on
my
own
While
you’
re
building
a
life
in
a
house
not
our
home.
Fifteen
years
out
of
twenty-five
We
gave
to
this
love
to
keep
it
alive
We
sacrificed
comfort,
we
gave
up
our
youth
Now
looking
at
silence,
facing
the
truth
Is
the
distance
between
us
just
a
matter
of
miles?
Or
is
it
the
weight
of
your
forced,
weary
smiles?
Oh,
Syl,
why
did
you
stay?
You’
re
only
ten
minutes,
ten
minutes
away
You
found
comfort
in
roots
that
belong
to
the
past
Leaving
the
soil
that
we
planted
to
last
Now
I’
m
standing
here,
tilling
the
earth
on
my
own
While
you’
re
building
a
life
in
a
house
not
our
home.
Ten
minutes…
Just
ten
minutes
away.
But
you’
re
a
world
apart.
Sylvie,
why? (
