Long distance relationships are easy
Like climbing a ladder with no rungs is not hard
Why would someone climb a ladder with no rungs you say? – Why would someone choose to live with their heart beating outside of their chests when the task of existing is already so defeating –
But when he kisses me
When I kiss him
When phone screens become lips and
Emojis are whispers in the dark
Long distance relationships are easy
Like getting lost in the pages of your favorite book
You would not just stop reading
Your favorite book simple
Because you can only read
The hard copy once a year
Why should this be any different?
You say
Wouldn’t it be easier to be with
Someone here – someone you don’t have to wait on –
Life is not a movie and
I would rather have a love I am
Sure of over stretching miles
That turn into tumultuous waves
Than a bland love I have to question
In the silences between the dark and the light
No
Long distance relationships are easy
Like breathing
Or jumping into the wind
Trusting the arms below to break
Your fall
