Setback

Setback

Comfort Zones, chats on the 'phone,
The world didn't seem so bad.
Over cups of coffee and lunch at home,
Took advantage of what we had.

Miss the pops ins, drop ins,
The love, support and laughter
Thought us moving here
Would be happy ever after.

Don't miss the town, it changed too much
But those friends, they stayed the same.
My heart still hurts, it grieves for them
And can't describe the pain.

Some things are set in concrete -
Some people just can't forget;
An hour's fast drive up the motorway
Is too far for this one regret.

Thought I was moving forward
But feels like ten steps back,
Didn't realise how much I missed -
The emotion feels so black.

This town is full of niceties
It's sweet and kind and true,
But there's a big part of my heart
That's sixty miles away from you.
