A Love Worth The Trouble

To show that distance is a minor hurdle in love.

This time last year, we slept in different beds
Fantasies, lucid dreams, were things to fill our heads
We'd reach out our fingertips and touch the shining screen
Hopelessly loving (secretly doubting) everything
One thousand four hundred sixteen miles kept you away from me
Longing to have you no matter where I had to be
Now here we are after all our nights alone
The same bed, same house, every mile has but flown
From the space between us to the past
I'm where I belong at last
Listening to you snore as you hold me close to you
Seeing your smile, watching your lips say, "I love you, too"
Remember when the nights were so long and cold?
When we fell asleep alone with nothing to hold?
Now we sleep in each others arms as if the make up all other nights
We kiss until we fall asleep under the same celestial lights
I've chosen a love that was not easy in the start
A love that made me accept the world, and slowly healed a hurt heart
The love you've given is the greatest of all
It's the love that has crawled across miles, swam oceans, and conquered mountains tall
So as you dream here next to me, I'll watch you with a smile
Cause I now know true happiness....even if it took a while.

Author's Note

Bit of background, my fiance and I met on another poetry website (UnitedWorldPoets) over 3 years ago. He lived in a small Texas town and I in California. Over the years we have found each other and taken breaks until a year and a half ago when we decided we loved each other and there was nobody else for us. The distance has been hard but on January 10th of this year I left SoCal and moved in with him to start our lives together. To anyone in a LDR, believe me....it's worth it in the end.
