Some people say
That when they mean everything
It means nothing

But what they don't realize
Is that the distance is everything,
and means the absence of something.

With distance,
There's no contact
No hugs

Love's strength is a merely a pittance.
There's no chance for a romantic act
No kisses

You can try to work through it
But at a young age
It doubtlessly falters

Through no fault of their own
The two lovers
kneeling at separate altars

There's work, there's time
There's the fact that neither
really exists to the other.  

There is hurt and there's pain
and eventually it causes them to suffer
or feel they are betraying their mother

Distance really *****.
