Distance is a mind fuck
Loving someone
Without touch
No kiss

To feel their pain
With no caress
No reaching out
To console

Easier they say
Just walk away
Easier for whom
For my soul, no

Love has
No boundaries
or timeframes
Be fearless

For my soul
is touched
by another afar
Unconvinced

I am fearless
with love, with pain
To continue
My souls’ only option
