Distance can mean
The space between
Two points on a plane
Or little lines on a scale
It can mean
Hours on airplane rides
The number of cold streetlights
Or the stretch of road 500 miles wide
It could be
The difference in time
Saying good morning
While the other says goodnight
Distance may spell the difference
Between bittersweet endings
Or challenging beginnings
On days you say goodbye
But distance may also mean nothing
To a pair of lover’s hearts
Who may be far apart
But choose the path
That may split into two
But despite the divide
Will still meet together and intertwine
And thus erase any feeling of distance.
