Love Knows No Distance

I hide my face so they wont see the tears that tumble down,
silent, yet reflecting more agony than I’ve ever known.
I try to be strong but in my mind I see your smile,
hear your laugh, feel your hand in mine,
and I break down,
the realization crashing down around me;
I will never look upon your face again,
never hear your inquisition when we find another difference,
never gaze into your eyes,
entranced by your perfection.

It breaks my heart to be so far from you,
never knowing if you’re thinking of me.
I still dream, foolishly, that one day we’ll reunite,
on a day when all the forces are together.
I’m told that I’m wasting my time,
but there is still a part of me in denial,
for emotions such as these refuse ignorance.
Yet somehow I’ll hold out, I’ll make it through the day,
though each second it grows harder.
And despite the struggles and pain,
I know I’ll see tomorrows’ sun,
for desire conquers pain,
and love knows no distance.
