Distance

You are there
To laugh with
To talk with
To hang around with
To eat with
To sit beside with
To travel with
To dance with
To cry on
And to be with

You are there
Cannot be drawn nearer here
Because you are there…

He did nothing special for me Neither did he show attention nor concern Well, yes, he knew I exist… But as just as anybody else, Just a classmate whom he manages to simply smile or nod at And sometimes cares to exchange some words with When he meets along the way. But despite this, I still loved him And I don’t feel bad. I’m not hurt by his indifference I am satisfied loving him this way Loving him from a distance.

Moon in the Sky

He called her Moon. She pouted. She didn’t like it. He asked why. She replied "It’s like you’re telling I’m fat! Has round face like the moon." He laughed and gently told her, "You’re my Moon Because you light my life. Like what the Moon does in the dark night sky. The object that I always look up to In the silence of solitude." She thought for a while. Nice. Taken. Deal. She agreed to be called Moon. They talked for hours Family, work, Life, love They laughed even at the most simple things. Then he called her honey. She didn’t like it. "Just Moon. Nothing else." He felt bad. But he understood. And never mentioned it again. Then she called her sky. However, he told her not to call him that way. She wondered why. He replied, "The Moon and the Sky are related, While you and me are not. The Moon dwells in the vast Sky. While you, you refuse to be mine. I can’t be your sky." The Moon laughed and tenderly said "Where else could the Moon stay Th...
