Distance

Thoughts about someone that I miss terribly right now, and distance is out main problem. I don't really like it, but I thought I'd share.

Distance can either be a gift, or a curse.
When love is involved, that's always the worse.
You give and take, some more than the other.
But for some, its never enough to keep a lover.

You bend and you break.
Shiver and shake.
And ask yourself "why?"

You try and you try,
For nothing but to cry.
And ask "what's left to take?"

My heart on my sleeve,
Bleeding through the seems,
Of the favorite color
Of my once distant lover.

Distance is a true curse for so many, but only an obstacle to show that when the distance is closed, the prize is savoured that more sweetly. This could be about me or any number of other people, such is the feelings we all feel or have felt for that far off need. Beautifully penned.
