Distance

All of these love sick poems
And none can relate to
The distance that time
Has created for us
Like one day you're here
And the next day you're gone
And I won't be able to see you
step a foot onto my lawn
Until the next month
Or maybe two

People ask me how I do it
Well, every time, I think about how they all say that love is patient
But they never told me that
I'd have to have the patience
To wait for Y.O.U

I hope that you understand
That my heart bleeds for you
Every damned time I have to see you
Walk away
I hope that you keep the vials
In your pocket
To give you strength to walk
another god forbidden mile

And I hope that you never forget
I also feel the pain that you have
in every foot step

I hope you know that
I get a little sicker every time that
Time has to question our love
Because I pull you in
And my blood runs thicker
through every single touch
Because the fibers in my body
Are trying cling to a part of something
That they know is a part of me.

So please never forget
That one day we will have the time
And I'll promise you
My body, soul, and mind.

Please forgive that clock,
Please forgive that calendar
And Wait for that day that
The essence of our touch
is endless and
time has given up
On distancing us.

this is such a beautiful piece. Reminds me of a couple I know and her husband is in the navy so they don't see eachother for months on end, truly heartbreaking and you pen it so well.
