The moment hit me like a freight train. It was that time, the drive home after a long night. I was lost in my thoughts, my car hummed along the familiar route. The sun was setting, casting long shadows across the city. I pulled up to my apartment, and there she was. Standing outside, the porch light barely illuminating her face.

A Shadowed Encounter

The memory is so vivid; I can still hear the sound of the car door slamming. She was there, just waiting, not saying a word. The tension was palpable, the air thick with unspoken words. I walked up to her, our eyes met, and I felt the weight of everything we left unsaid. The silence was deafening.

I reached for her hand, but she pulled away. “Ten miles of maybe,” she whispered, her voice soft and broken. Those words stung, cutting through the surface to the bone. I didn’t know what to say, so I just held her. For a moment, it felt like everything. Then, the moment passed, and I was left with the memory.

The Track

Fast forward to the studio. I sat down, headphones on, and let the memory wash over me. “Ten Miles of Maybe” wasn’t about a breakup or a love story. It was about that moment, that feeling of what could have been. The song starts with a soft, soulful piano, the kind that can make your heart ache. The beat builds, the drums and bass drop in, and the vocals come in, raw and honest.

Reliving the Moment

I try to retrace the memory as I listen, but it’s never the same. Each time, the song takes me to a different place, a different emotion. It’s the kind of track that makes you think about the moments you’ve missed, the chances you didn’t take.

Every stream buys back a piece of what it cost. That’s the real cost of not knowing. I’ve paid that price long enough.
