The Science of Longing

Driving in my car right now Driving in a daze but somehow Driving through this maze Letting my mind pontificate Thinking the way I do About time, space, and distance About how they work. For instance Time is a measure of wait It's unpredictable; especially if you're late The more you get with the one you love The more you believe in something above Space contains everything From a muon, a quark, an atom To every living being And every galaxy (hard to fathom) Dark matter, antimatter Photons, and gravitons All sorts of matter Positrons, neutrons, and electrons Of all things people need to live Sometimes space is the best Though hard to give ......Consider it a test Distance is the space from A to B Like the distance set between you and me From microns to light years; its a cinch How far from me to your smiles? From 0.00005 of an inch Or 5,865,696,000,000 miles Like Einstein says; it's relative in a way You could be laying right next to me And feel like you're so far away Or 120 miles apart a simple text from you could warm my heart No matter the distance It can be covered over time No matter the space You're still mine
