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.

this rings a bell to me. they tend to think out of sight out of mind. i foolishly hung around for almost ten years for my long distant friend to make their mind uo but guess i was the last thought on their list. they regret it now though but that chance has long gone by. i would never try build anything long distance again.
