The tyranny of distance in a relationship
can be a trial of our own emotions... for love,
companionship, friendship needs a time together.
Otherwise distance drives a cold chisel in the middle
of our very being! we, humans, need to feel
the warmth of a hug, the touch of a hand, the seal
of a kiss and all that presence gives to each other.
So when love wanes because of distance, what can
we do to remedy neglect? Writing a letter or card, a poem
or note the many times together? Memories lived, moments
of happiness, the joy of being together doing something
that we both love. Appreciating the absence for whatever
reason can be an antidote, but distance is like a small poison
portion that drives each party apart. To live without the other,
not to see or talk to each other often: to be one's own best friend
becomes the normal habit. The new habitat in which there is only
room for newcomers or solitude! "Is another love the answer? "
You asked or rather you said this to test my reaction, adding: "maybe
you need someone closer!" Geography, you know! Ah, distance!
