The distance between us

Calendar examines her pages
Our mailboxes measure their miles
Events check each attendance list
For they do not understand
That time, distance, experience
Does not factor in our connection

the connection is ethereal...
when the hearts bond entirely...those three things mean little.
It is the moment that counts...
I had a couple really good long distance relationships.
the anticipation of the letter...
the quickening beat of a heart.
love.

Did you mean for line four to be "For they do not understand?" I like the idea presented here that we can hold each other in our hearts no matter the distance between us. Great stuff. I enjoyed.

Thanks; I need to review better 😏

A brief, sparely worded offering that says a lot in a few words. The anthropomorphizing of inanimate things is a clever device, and the last three lines are the key to the poem. Well done.
