Worlds Apart - Bruce Springsteen, The Rising (2002)

I broke up with Malek.

WORLDS APART

I hold you in my arms, yeah that's when it starts
I seek faith in your kiss, and comfort in your heart
I taste the seed upon your lips, lay my tongue upon your scars
But when I look into your eyes, we stand worlds apart

Where the distant oceans sing, and rise to the plain
In this dry and troubled country, your beauty remains
Down from the mountain roads, where the highway rolls to dark
'Neath Allah's blessed rain, we remain worlds apart

Sometimes the trust just ain't enough
Or it's too much in times like this
Let's throw the truth away, we'll find it in this kiss
In your skin upon my skin, in the beating of our hearts
May the living let us in, before the dead tear us apart

We'll let blood build a bridge, over mountains draped in stars
I'll meet you on the ridge, between these worlds apart
We've got this moment now to live, then it's all just dust and dark
Let love give what it gives
Let's let love gives what it gives

After we die, it's not all just dust and dark, and I can't marry him. We are literally worlds apart. We've joked before about how in order to love each other completely we would have to go to the moon to do it. That's not very far from the truth.

So this was the hardest thing I have done in my life so far, but it was pretty much inevitable.

I really love him, but we are worlds apart...sorry Bruce, I have to think of my family...
