516 Kilometres

The deepest part of the ocean is 35,876 feet.

The stars that we see are 4,000 light-years away from us.

And you, you are 516 kilometres away from me.

They say that distance makes the heart grow fonder.

Or is it stronger?

Because distance means nothing,

when it’s compared to someone who means so much.

I’ve spent 218 nights now without you.

So, I find parts of you in every song that I listen to.

And when it’s quiet,

I play back the last time that I got to kiss you.

18 inches.

That is the distance between our brain and our heart.

Considering the turmoil that I go through to separate the two,

18 inches seems foolish.

Until I remember that my heart and my brain worked as one to make the decision that chose you.

516 kilometres.

516 kilometres for as long as I have to.
