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!
