Being Apart ~

does long distance relationship really last? I think it does for some people, but it is not for everyone. I guess it really depends how stretchable your love is...

 

 

 

 

Being Apart ~

 

       In contrary of the distance we take.

          Goodbyes are just as hard to make.

         

          I wish the cold will stay away from our hearts.

          It’s our toughest decision we’ve made - being apart.

 

          I give to you a piece of my soul for you to hold.

          You give yours, I cherish like gold.

         

          Three years is a short time away from each other,

          Yet as long as our hearts are entwine together

          Our love is as sweet as forever.

I love what you said in the description above...how stretchable your love is... something to ponder. It takes a lot of things to make a relationship work even when the person you love is right next to you, let alone across many miles. It takes a special kind of love, a true love, to stretch time and distance for each other. Beautiful work, Pax...

[Pax]

" Three years is a short time away from each other,
Yet as long as our hearts are entwine(d) together
Our love is as sweet as forever."

Every moment is time etched in eternity when two souls are spending their entwined times together and every distance is paved with insanity when the two depart from each other. An excellent poem in its simplicity my friend...:).......

[Pax]

Ah, long distance relationship. Mmmm, good luck! Just kidding =)
Being away from each other for a long time is a tough situation but it could also be taken as a blessing. This is a situation where the couple’s the trust, fidelity, loyalty, love to each other are being tested. If the couple passes the "test", the relationship is strengthened but if not, then perhaps, the couple, in the first place, are not meant to be.

By the way, the song Here without you came to mind. it fits the theme. Thank you for sharing.

[Pax]

thanks Gab, you have hit many points about how a relationship should work.

You know dito sa Saudi, I heard many real stories about how trust, fidelity & loyalty are tested. Some can't bear it, some can, and some do it just to passed time and loneliness from being away...

oh, I like that song... thanks for the reminder...

[gabrielle]

Once I would have said three years is too long to make a relatioship work. But in these days of the Internet--poaaibly you can use Scype--it's possible to be closer than before, when letters were all that could keep people together.

[Pax]

Yes, that's what I do sometimes and skype & the internet are really useful tool for a constant communication... Thank you so much Marie my friend, I so appreciate this...

i relate to this Pax...am in one now for the last two and a half years...so far we make it work, but it is not always easy...takes a lot of trust...

[Pax]

Thank you so much my good friend, yes it takes a lot of trust... you are not alone in this matter my friend... I am glad you could relate to it... :)

[Bowers]

beautiful, touching... a great romantic write! (and I love the image you've chosen to portray this piece!)

[Pax]

thank you so much my friend, for coming back and reading this piece, I am glad you find it romantic...

[Rose Black]

Both the photo and the poem really beautiful... sometimes distance makes the love grow other times it makes it wither away and die

[Pax]

so true, truly depends upon the loyal and trust between both - lovers. Thank you so much my friend... I am glad you find it beautiful in its simplest form, i am grateful!

[Rose Black]

You're most wellcome...

[Coyote Poetry]

Powerful and hopeful words. Three years is a long time. I like the photos and the description of distance, separation and hope. Sometime hope is all we got. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.
