Distance

Distance: The result of movement
expanding the space between
two individual entities.

Through the knowledge that I travel
Further from you,
Facing my departure,
Refusing to erase
The reminiscence
Of your embrace,
The unbearable becomes bearable.

The further I am from you
Physically,
I know that my heart and mind are
Closer to you than before.

Each element of my surroundings
Gives me a reminder of you,
Perfections and imperfections.

And although your thoughts are distant,
Mine are constant,
Dreaming that you will change what you meant,
That I will catch your scent
And your eye.

Your words are sweeter
Than strawberries on a summer's day,
Your face has more beauty
Than water's purity.
And although I cannot prioritise
You above

He

Who loves me amongst all others,
I can't deny that you mean
The world to me.
Our virtual encounters
Bring me more happiness than
The laughter of a child
Or a cat on a keyboard.

It has become
Impossible to seek the closure I lack,
When I continuously dream
That you'll want me back,
But I will keep my
Distance
And maintain my
Hope.
