Long Distance Love
It's not for the weak willed
Nothing can prepare you for
The trials you'll face in this love
The ultimate trial is yourself
Overcoming the fears of your own mind
It's not for those who fear judgement
No one knows what goes on in
Someone else's relationships
When family and friends cannot see
They fear the worst from
Catfish to pure fantasy
It's not for the fearful
We know how we feel about the other
This is a solo journey that merges with another's
You cannot let the fear of what ifs seep in or
It will rob you of all the laughter and
Joy here in front of us
It's not for the faint of heart
It takes so much inner strength to
Succeed in this once in a lifetime love
As hard as it has been to face my fears
I knew I would regret not seeing it
Through to its conclusion
It's not for the insecure
Strong foundations are built on
Dedication, loyalty, trust and love
The more time it's taken the more
I realize we needed that time to grow
Together and autonomously on our own
It's not for the impatient
Time is relative depending
On who's perspective
Soon can mean so many things
Soon has gone from 'I can't wait' to
'As long as it takes, I'll wait'
It's not for the undetermined
To want something just out of
Reach keeps you focused on the prize
We can become our best selves
Knowing they are waiting
At the finish line for us
It's not for the faithless
It's so terrifying to take the risk to
Step out into space and free fall
For maybe just maybe..
This is the One
