Distance is not an obstacle
To falling in love
Miles cannot lessen
The irresistable attraction
Words, truly spoken, are enough
To know someone's beauty
The kind that does not fade
The beauty that is within...

Though your hand has never touched me
I have been touched by your love
Though my eyes have not beheld you
I have seen the beauty of your spirit...

Like a seed has my heart laid dormant
Waiting for the springtime
Waiting for the sun that is you
To call forth the life that is within
Words are enough to sustain growth
When love is yet a seedling
The gentle rain of emotions
Nourishing love's roots
Which have determinedly
Taken hold of my heart
And yet I long for more...
I yearn for your presence...

For love also needs the heat of summer
To grow stronger, more resilient
To put forth the leaves which will take
The heat of our passions and convert it
Into love sustaining energy needed
To begin the formation of bark
That outer shell which forever protects
The tenderness of love's shoot within...

As I sit here and marvel
In the love I have found
From all of these miles away
I cannot help but to want more
To anxiously await the coming summer...
