Trembling Arms

Distance and Love

She gave me her heart with trust. I held it closely and it felt so damn light. I could hold onto this forever I thought. Distance began to pull her heart away from me. As her heart moved further and further I began to extend my arms. I thought I was strong so my confidence held high. Every time the distance hit, my strong arms stretched out in front of me further and further. Now my strong arms felt like weak arms. They began to tremble as they extended as far as possible. My once gentle grip on her heart became tense and desperate. I was holding onto dear life. My grip began to slip slowly, then all at once. I watched helplessly as her gorgeous red heart dropped to the ground.
