ME

There are only miles between us
Miles bridged by telephone lines
And these blue pages where we write.
Miles are nothing to a heart
Hungry for love and understanding.

YOU

ME

We have walked together on distant beaches
Held hands under starry skies
Shared kisses in the mornings mist
Through the power of our words
Through the song in our hearts.

YOU
<

ME

Imagination plays its part
To keep us closer than we really are
Dreams of someday holding you
Dreams I know we'll make happen
Because miles are nothing to a loving heart.

YOU
ME

So we'll work through the doubts
Through the distance, through the miles
And there will come a day soon
When the only thing between us
Will be our next heartbeat.

Beautiful positive writing Paula ...I really love how you made the miles shrink as the poem progressed...exceptional work!!

The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges.

Paula, I love the way this starts with such a great distance, and gradually eliminates it. How wonderful. I pray for you it happens just that way.

Live for that day, cherish that day,remember that day...learn from my mistakes...never tarnish that day with reality not expected now. Your dreams...my heart. You are a good friend and great poet. Thank you.

Paula dear heart, utterly truly Amazing, Outstanding, Superb
Absolutely first class love, and you're right there is no distance between loving hearts.
Love you dear heart always
Take care love as always sister mine

Take back the hope you gave,- I claim
Only a memory of the same
