Far yet near, Near yet farA Poem by Hermione TC LaiComparing a long-distance relationship to a close-proximity relationship.Long drive You get further away each day, yet our trust deepens although it gets harder to see your face in every space. Between these blank spaces, He, on the other hand, is so close to touch yet so far to reach. I made him play with my puzzle pieces. He is a wise one, but he cannot read, cannot read all of me as an open book. I stay by his side, but my heart rests in another continent. Perhaps the young map does not stay consistent. Here I am, Standing in front of the two of you. I can no longer tell whose face is whose. Who are you within me? Who am I in the both of you? Who am I in myself? © 2017 Hermione TC Lai |
