Embracing Distance: A Poetic Tale of Love and Loss

In the quiet embrace of twilight's kiss, Where stars alight and dreams persist, A journey unfolds, a path unknown, Far from home, my heart has flown.

I embarked on a quest, a call to roam, In search of growth, a place to own, To spread my wings, to soar up high, Yet deep within, a bittersweet sigh.

The highs of freedom, the lows of yearning, A soul divided, a heart still burning, For in this dance of life's grand waltz, I find myself torn, amidst the sprawl.

With each sunrise and sunsets' hues, I marvel at horizons anew, A world to conquer, dreams unfurled, But the absence weighs upon this world.

For when laughter echoes through the air, And family gathers with tender care, I stand afar, a distant guest, In joy's refrain, a poignant jest.

A child's first steps, a birthday's cheer, I watch through screens, my heart sincere, As time marches on, swift and sly, Moments lost, as days fly by.

Yet still, I choose this path I roam, To seek my truth, my heart's own home, To grow and learn, to find my way, Though distance tugs, it won't betray.

For love transcends the space between, The ties that bind, forever keen, In memories etched, and love's embrace, We find our solace, a sacred place.

And so, I learn to cherish both, The highs and lows, love's sacred oath, To bridge the gap with love's sweet grace, To hold them close in heart's embrace.

So, here I stand, with hope in hand, A soul that yearns, a heart that's grand, For living far, yet near in soul, Has made me strong, has made me whole.
