They say two people don't meet by mere coincidence.
What they don't say is that person could change your life.
They probably didn't mean for those two to meet online.
So far apart yet right at the end of your fingertips.
They say no distance is too far.
But I'd say over 1000 miles is too far.
Only 2 hours 31 minutes on a plane.
So far apart yet so little time.
I told you my favourite quote once. I told you because it was worthless information.
I never realised that it would apply to me.
I never realised it was what I wanted to say to you.
I never said it before now because I was so nervous.
I guess in a poem it's different.
I'm in love with you. And I know that love is just a shout out into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable and that we're all doomed, and that there will come a day when all our labour has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have and I am in love with you.
So far apart.
The quote is from 'The fault in our stars' by John Green.
