This Distance Too, Shall Pass!

My pen and paper, rest untouched

I dream about you

Fretting over the miles in between

I glance at our happy faces

I see hope

This distance too, shall pass…

I love you!

Dressed in our best, swallowed up by the night

We danced till our feet were kissed

By the first rays of light

Yearning to match steps with you again

I wish

This distance too, shall pass…

I love you!

D-day was here, I hid my tears

Bidding farewell to familiarity

Set forth on this journey, trusting the hand I held

You said, “Let’s click a picture”

I smiled, feeling

This distance too, shall pass…

I love you!

I suspect it was the hot seat

That fuelled your confidence, going down

On one knee with a rose

A hundred eyes watching

The girl in me did a little twirl, and sang out loud

This distance too, shall pass…

I love you!

New Year eve, warmth in tall glasses

We stood on that terrace

Transfixed by the lights

In that one moment, I was so thankful

To have you by my side, I knew

This distance too, shall pass…

I love you!

Perhaps my favourite place of all

Doing stunts on the road

Fighting over if you should swim

Spotting hot Dads and yummy Mums

I’m glad you love to live and laugh

It’ll make it easier for this distance to pass…

I love you!

The trip has ended, life begun

This one’s for each time our eyes meet

Joy knows no bounds

Smiling ear-to-ear doesn’t suffice

We’re far away for now, it’s true

But, this distance too, shall pass…

Because, I love you!
