A fonder heart

They say
Distance makes the heart grow fonder
But distance makes the heart forget
Distance drives a wedge between us
The miles, so many, makes me regret

They say
Distance makes the heart grow fonder
And what if it's too late
Our tenderness can't be stretched longer
Holding hands through a locked gate

Distance makes the heart grow fonder
What they meant is that our hearts will wander
It will all soon fade again
But will we forget?
