Does the heart grow fonder

I don’t know why
I found it hard
to say the words
With you near
But you, when afar
I see you as vividly
as you were near

Makes me wonder what those words were... =)

Good rhythm, though it got a few more beats in towards the end. Might want to take another look at the words you used in the last 2-3 lines. For example, "vividly" is the only 3-syllable word used in the poem. Perhaps "clearly" would give the same meaning but keeping the beat better.

Still, a good poem and I enjoyed reading it.

i know you heard me
shudder as a tear rolled
that single one tiny tear
rolled down my cheek
