the distance between us
is more literal                  
the closest way to physically measure
how far apart we are
would be to cut through the ground            
but  
even though we're so far apart            
that we don't share the same stars

our hearts are together
cuddling under the watchful eye
of our minds                  
which is being distracted by the force
of our souls

love, we're never really
fully apart                                              
we're together in more ways
than one
