It might only be a quantity-
of length, width or height
There are people who are distant
Far apart, not in sight
But there are closer ones
So far away from the heart
And yet the ones away
Their hearts are never apart

Near but far,  two is two
Hearts that never unite
Far but near,  why they are one
Hearts embrace each night
The ones closer in touch
Are only closer in sight
The ones so far away
Are taking one same flight...
