Lost to distance

Across the miles, our love begins,

like a wildfire, spreading the flame,

our hearts burning with desires,

dreamy days and sleepless nights.

Your honey dipped voice,

enticed, enlivens dry ears,

igniting the sparks inside,

showing me a colorful future. 


Everything seems pleasant,

with hope and anticipation,

indulging into this new world,

letting go of my cautions.

Yet, the excitements were short-lived,

when we faced with the realities,

virtual connections, separate schedules,

for, our professional obligations. 


Sweet words lost its charm,

conversations took negative tone,

with clashes, blames, and silence,

stretching the threads of our bond.

A shift of focus, brought the change,

built from doubts and resentments, 

desires and yearnings were replaced,

by frustrations and disappointments. 


It's not the distance of miles,

that brought the lover's despair,

but, the separation of our minds,

that led to faded feelings.

Even if we wished to have danced,

in shared horizons, hand in hand,

yet, across the miles, we understand, 

we have lost our bond to distance.
