The Distance Between
Us
I bring the phone close,
trying to see the blue
that never seems to look away.
In anger, I want to throw my phone,
& simply admire the blue in
person. This distance between
us sometimes becomes
too much. My heart
aches for you. My mind races
about you. My touch longs for
you. My pain begs for your comfort.
But, for you, I’d go through
it all again. Because unlike
the distance between
us, our love is everlasting.
