Love Poem: Distance

Distance

They say,
“Distance makes the heart
grow fonder.”
And although 
For me this quote is true.
It never was for you.

Distance has made my heart
Yearn for you,
More tenderly
Then I normally would.

I saw you everyday, 
With this unrequited feeling
That could be seen as sadness.
But I enjoyed seeing your
Natural self 
Without me.

Distance may make you forget me,
Or the memories captured.
But I see the life you're living,
Praying distance is making
Your heart grow fonder. 

More fond than we ever were.
More fond than I am,
Which almost seems impossible,
Untrue.

My soul tied a rope 
Around your name 
And chained it to my heart.
No matter the miles i travel,
The steps i take,
Whether i’m ahead
Or behind you.
Distance makes my heart grow fonder.

I wish I could say the same about yours.
