distance.

---

every night before I close my eyes

the image of your face brushes my soul

every night as I close my eyes

I see your smile

every morning before I wake

the light of your being awakes me first 

every morning as I wake

I'm greeted with your presence 

whether you're near

or miles away

I can still feel you 

no matter the room

with us, it's different 

we're a little different 

I'm different

and so are you

but together we are 

so much more

something that'll make you move

a feeling so deep

distance isn't an obstacle 

only an illusion

no matter where I go

you remain with me

no matter where we go 

or what happens

you'll remain with me

a feeling like this

is forever amidst 

something like this

is deeper than a feel

it's a connection 

a bond to never

be broken 

something that gives you hope and

something to only grow 

like the branches of a tree

after a long winter 

a mutualistic relationship

where either party only benefits

working together

however we see fit 

if we were animals 

you would be the coral reef

and I'd be the fish

you have a world within you

and I want to discover it all

even if I end up swimming along you forever

i would have nothing to complain about 

because whether you're present or not

I'll love you the same amount.
