Distance knows, as distance grows, It's short and long It can raise the stakes and hopes. It can make you long for the edge, For the thing at the other side.
Distance doesn't have to be in miles or in feet. Distance could be attitudes, expressions; In class, availability...victories or defeat...
You are out of my reach, a distance away. I can't help but look your way and pray Praying you would notice me You may glace toward me, but its not what I want I just wish to gaze into your eyes And have you smile at me...only me.
But two inches between us, Make it as if we have nothing to say, And we really have miles between us, And this distance grows each and every day.
You're the king, the prince of hearts, While I a simple pawn who would melt to just get a glimpse of your face.
This distance knows, and oh how quickly it grows At the end of this road... We'll never see each other again.
This was a poem I wrote from 2007, at a summer program called CCY. I remember who this was based off of...and now how silly I was back then. Completely crazy. Enjoy.
