812 miles between your heart and mine Miles that ache with such loneliness But today I put those miles behind me 2 1/2 minutes at a time. Each song that plays each voice that sings Brings brings me 2 1/2 minutes closer to you Please Mr D.J. play the next song So I can be 2 1/2 minutes closer to you Ive waited for this day for so long To hold you in my arms not my mind And today I will make my dreams happen 2 1/2 minutes at a time So sing the next song play the next tune Bring me 2 1/2 minutes closer to you Please Mr. D.J. another number one song To take me 2 1/2 minutes further on my way It may seem a long lonely journey 2 1/2 minutes at a time But you are there at the end of each song And I will get there 2 1/2 minutes at a time So play on Mr. D.J. play the miles away And sing to my love that Im coming 2 1/2 minutes at a time [This message has been edited by Paula Finn (edited 09-26-2000).] |

I love your poem. I have felt the same anticipation many times before. Just 2 1/2 minutes at a time. Great Job. Waverly917 |

Isn't it funny how so many miles between you seem to stretch endlessly... until you're on your way and anticipation makes a heart's melody that sings at a slightly faster pace than the radio so that suddenly, the miles have disappeared? *S* This is great... drive safely! *S* |

Oh Paula, can I ever feel this one. I am on my way in a week, 3200 miles to see my someone special. Superb poem, cuts right to the point, in a lyrical way. Loved it. Good luck with your journey. Sandra |

Paula - what a great poem! I can relate to using songs on the radio to demarcate a long journey home. You addressed this perfectly. Much like the song, "Eighteen Wheels and a Dozen Roses." |

Paula, was just about to go looking for you! This one is nice, describes that "faraway yearning place" so perfectly! (and I'm very impressed with the last two lines, *winks*) Hugs and smiles, Paula... |

Snowpants...well when you have all those miles to cover you have to be optomistic about soemthing and music is important to us. Serenity...so glad I could impress you...and thanks for looking Eagleone...glad I could GRAB you friend lol Kitkat...and a safe and happy journey to you as well |
