Hey.
The thing is,
I cannot find the words
to articulate the points of differences
between love and infatuation.
I just know.
I know I am not infatuated with you -
how can I be infatuated with someone I haven't even seen?
But,
what I have for you had surpassed the space between us.
It's like we are standing opposite to each other,
directly parallel,
with this gulf, this vast gulf between us.
Dividing us.
What I have for you
is not a bridge that connects these two lands,
nor a boat to deliver me
to that other land
but an element,
an essential element
in order for that bridge to be constructed
and that boat to be built.
