Faraway Truths

I’ve never really, really shared the truth of
How much I miss you when you’re absent
Because it couldn’t ever fit the length of a text:
The space needed is the size of an encyclopedia

    I felt this one so much. And covid makes it hard to see everyone we want to, too… :/
    It’s so beautiful, though!

      Thanks. You’re right. Social distance is a lot to handle. But it can’t stop anyone from falling/or staying in love, in the end. Even with some distance you can show someone you care just as much as if they were there. At least I’d like to think so. But closer is always better when it comes to relationships/friendships.

        That’s very true, but honestly, distance makes you value those relationships more in a different kind of way too. πŸ™‚ You’re welcome!

        That’s true πŸ™‚ I cannot deny that at all. It’s a different kind of way but no less important. And maybe in other ways it makes the relationship even stronger than one with no distance between.

        Such an interesting point, but I do believe that it’s true! Especially if it’s meant to be πŸ™‚

        Exactly πŸ™‚ “Meant to be.” It’s nice to find that feeling in another. Some relationships really feel that way. Have a great night!

    All your short texts seem to make the space for an encyclopedia, in the heart of the reader… :)) Yes, this generates a very deep feeling. Your words have power.
