As The Summer Gets Colder

My boyfriend and I will be going to different colleges this fall, and we're hoping that our love transcends all obstacles.

 

As the summer gets colder

I fill empty boxes with memories.

Strange how my life can fit into

1,728 cubic inches of space.

 

The many untidy, folded letters 

proclaiming your love,

the cards you meticulously picked,

the pictures of our grinning faces,

oblivious to everything but each other.

 

Time and distance will be 

our greatest adversary,

tying knots in the thin threads

that connect our souls.

 

Will we be able to untangle them?

Very nice...Long distance relationships can be very difficult, indeed. It is definitely the hardest thing to go through when you're with someone..But if it's meant to be, you two fill find a way to make it happen. :)
Great work, I really enjoyed reading this. I especially loved the lines "I fill empty boxes with memories. Strange how my life can fit into 1,728 cubic inches of space."
Keep up the excellent work,

This was a great piece
I liked how you used words that
I never even heard of on here and
put them into a brilliant little creative write

Nicely done sweetheart!
