From a Distance


From a distance I’m besot with hand holding and eye gazing.

From a distance love looks gentle, flawless, and enchanting.

When it doesn’t, I look away, change the channel, turn the page.

From a distance you can be my hero, shining like your impenetrable armor.

From a distance, I can love you, you can love me – without  unnecessary assumptions.

From a distance, I won’t be disappointed when you eventually fail me.

From a distance I'm happy, content as I am, chains breaking free.

From a distance you won’t need to change me or want only parts of me.

From a distance I see you, I know you, and once loved you.

From a distance I'll wave and remember the moments I liked best

esteemed still by the apparition of romantic love, as it warms my heart, from a distance.
