Little Things

Distance

Distance

I can feel your heart beat

hundreds of miles away.

I still hear your laugh

and see your face in my mind.

You tell me your secrets

and I listen to your past

but it's the present that matters

and the future that's coming.

There's so much

traveling across the distance,

where is all this coming from?

You never fail

to surprise me

a never ending bottle

of kind words and jokes.

No one

understands

the way I feel around you

or how we came to be.

There is no logic to explain

how we met so quickly and

came so far

from where we began.

How can I explain

the feelings I have,

when no one has ever

experienced this?

To everyone else we are

young, stupid, immature,

easily deceived and still growing

learning who we are.

I will not deny,

that is true

but everyone has heard this too

so why are we not allowed to enjoy it?

I wish you could protect each other

from all these natural happenings

that kill us from the inside

out.

But the world isn't like that

we are all rebellious

and want to change

the world.

I don't know about anyone,

but simply changing the world

of someone I love

has been enough.

This distance that

resides between us-

I always wonder all the suffering

that goes on in each inch?

And I think about

what you are doing

and how I wish

I were there with you.

I know that things would be different

if you were close,

or if we had really

already met before.

It's funny actually

how people say that you meet your future spouse

when you are young

but I have never met anyone who is that lucky.

I like to believe

that will happen to me,

but there is so many possibilities

and so little control.

All these

little things about life

and loving you

drive me crazy.

I want to wrap myself up

in our emotions

and sleep until

I see you again.

Our bodies have so much

distance between them,

but our hearts are

completely intertwined.

I am writing a love poem

but you do not know,

I am singing a love song,

and you sing along,

I am dreaming about you

as you lay awake in bed,

I am taking a nap

yet you are out partying with friends.

And all the while

no matter what we are doing

we think of

each other.

It's crazy because I 

just know,

there is so much trust and honesty between us

it just makes sense.

But if we told anyone else

we'd be crazy and

young and

still have too much to learn.

So we keep it a secret

across all this distance,

and we pray before we go to bed

to see each other again.
