They told me to love someone
Someone who can be with me
Someone I can hold onto
Someone who I can call my home

But what if...
What if the home I am looking
Cannot be touched nor felt
Not because it does not exist
It's because distance separated us.

This long distance love is difficult
A love only strong people can endure
Wherein trust is well needed
And communication is a must.

People would ask me
Why not love someone near?
Why not love someone you can see?
I also asked them, why not?

Why not love someone whom you cannot see
But love is still felt even at a distance
Why not love someone who is far away
Yet whom you still trust and love each..and every day

Why would I try to love someone near
If I am meant to love someone who is far away?
Yes I've tried loving someone near
But it is not nearly close as loving someone far

I know that someday
The time will come
That the distance between us
Will be all gone

They say that forever is not real
I believe them as well
For we will not love at a distance forever
I believe that our world will collide

No more video calls
No more good morning texts
For all can be done face to face
At that moment, at that time

But as we are still far away
Always remember that I love you
No matter the distance
Nothing would separate us
