If you can’t it see you aren’t close enough.

Distance

 

Makes the heart grow fonder

but it won’t make it feel raw or brave

like the sun is always beating on you

while it is so cold your fingers are still cracking.

 

Distance

 

Makes the heart grow confident.

Confident the cells walls wont break, letting in

the virus, you’ve always pretended you didn’t have

but you know their still there.

 

Distance

 

Makes it easy to forget memories

until you see the photo and remember how it felt.

In a house you once lived in.

you handed in the key the memories still locked inside.

 

Distance

 

Sometimes you knock and that beat

bangs against my brain during the night

more importantly my heart.

 

Distance

 

We’ve come to realize we cannot

choose what we dream of.

 

Distance

 

Is erased when we dream fireflies erase miles

but more importantly years.

 

I wake and bring you closer

albeit unintentionally.

 

Distance

 

why are aching and fulfillment

both shaped like circles?
