Distances
No matter how much communication advances,
only miracles bring together people across expanses.
At first you still feel a part of what you’ve left behind
With time they turn into memories, just passing by.
Consoling thyself the other end of the world is just 22 hours away,
The feeling of distance strengthens with a difference of night and day.
It was hard to believe distance changes everything
Experiences teach you what you could’ve never learnt reading.
You know less of your best friend, you lose trust in your love,
You miss being yelled at by your mom, your pampered since you don’t live at home.
There is very little instant messengers can do.
How much can words portray the emotions expressions do?
Distance tests relationships,
You wouldn’t know its value until you’ve tested it.
Like an epidemic spreads across miles,
There’s just one thing that travels as fast as light.
It means the same in every nation, all year round.
A smile can travel distances through air, water or ground!
