Long Distance Love

Long Distance Love

It’s not for the weak willed

Nothing can prepare you for

The trials you’ll face in this love

The ultimate trial is yourself

Overcoming the fears of your own mind

It’s not for those who fear judgement

No one knows what goes on in

Someone else’s relationships

When family and friends cannot see

They fear the worst from

Catfish to pure fantasy

It’s not for the fearful

We know how we feel about the other

This is a solo journey that merges with another’s

You cannot let the fear of what ifs seep in or

It will rob you of all the laughter and

Joy here in front of us

It’s not for the faint of heart

It takes so much inner strength to

Succeed in this once in a lifetime love

As hard as it has been to face my fears

I knew I would regret not seeing it

Through to its conclusion

It’s not for the insecure

Strong foundations are built on

Dedication, loyalty, trust and love

The more time it’s taken the more

I realize we needed that time to grow

Together and autonomously on our own

It’s not for the impatient

Time is relative depending

On who’s perspective

Soon can mean so many things

Soon has gone from ‘I can’t wait’ to

‘As long as it takes, I’ll wait’

It’s not for the undetermined

To want something just out of

Reach keeps you focused on the prize

We can become our best selves

Knowing they are waiting

At the finish line for us

It’s not for the faithless

It’s so terrifying to take the risk to

Step out into space and free fall

For maybe just maybe..

This is the One
