Distance

What is distance between two lovers?
It is just a number,
A problem,
An obsticle to be overcome.
So why the big deal?
Why all the fear?
On a map
It does not look like much
There you see the truth:
Distance is not much.
Just a drive
Just a plane.
What are a few miles,
A few dollars
To gaze upon
The one you love.
It is a miniscule sacrifice
To look into eachothers eyes.
A small price for
a long-awaited embrace.
A worth-while wait
To kiss that beautiful, porcilen face.
