Distant Togetherness

4000 miles of water, of objects and buildings,  
A vast distance that stretches between us,  
Not to mention the 8 billion lives we share this earth with.  
Yet, there is no such thing as coincidence,  
Only a deep knowing that our paths have crossed,  
That somehow, we are meant to be aware of each other’s existence.  

You, an embodiment of hope,  
A quiet light that draws me in,  
And in the thought of you, my humility finds a place to rest.
You receive me without judgment,  
And in that, I am deeply moved.  

I long to belong to you,  
To stand beside you in a way that feels like home,  
And though we are separated by so much,  
I am open to the idea of forever.  

I wait, with the belief that one day  
We will walk together,  
Through a world we’ve both dreamed of—  
A paradise where distance and time no longer matter,  
Where we can laugh at the things that once kept us apart.  

For now, I remain patient,  
In hope that the miles will one day dissolve,  
And all that will remain is our knowing,  
Our connection that will never fade.
