Far away
Because we live half a world apart I'd never even bothered to read yours, or any similiar profiles
My belief being that it was a waste of time, pretending love could survive so many miles
And I am still unable to commit, too being anything more than just friend's
Unwilling to have faith, trust, and fidelity, left to the whims of the oceans and winds
For me the very thought of someone else holding you, would permit me little rest
And too pretend that I wouldn't think it, would in itself be cheating if put too
the test
And although I'm viewed, liked, and messaged from as far as Thailand, we won't be anything more than pen pals
I'm a firm believer that anything more is only an invitation to hurt, apology,
heartbreak, and trials.

About this poem:
This poem came to be written because of a recent profile I visited!!, amazingly I'd never thought to visit this profile although there'd been more than enough reasonable cause, I clicked on the profile and miraculously, magically, suddenly there she was!! What I'm trying to say is everything was good, photos, about, she had intelligence, beauty, humor, compassion, passion, sensitivity, what she was looking for I am, or was willing to try and become. Her music preferences even included several songs I've covered and recorded on karaoke!! And if all these similarities weren't enough she has the same birth sign as the woman I married., In short the total package for me. Did the fact that we live a half a world apart from each other have any effect on what I felt? how I reacted? what I think? definitely.
Many of us have had a similar experience, and the stress It has created for me needs an outlet and writing about
it provides that outlet.

We tend to want more something that's out of reach?
But...who knows? Love sees no boundaries. And...when there's a will there's usually a way.
Good luck! Don't give up!
