Distance…!!

Tears drip as I close my eyes.

Thinking I can't see, hear, talk & feel you.

Agony grasps, wraps me in its arms.

The question, "Does distance really matter !?" travails from my mind.

I sink deep within myself,

Wriggling, struggling; to answer my mind.

I sift all the pieces of my memory meticulously .

Everything pops in front of my eyes vividly,

Fresh & full of life.

My soul rejoices as I dig in further;

As if the bee has found its sweetest nectar.

Craving for more, I pounce from one piece to another, restlessly.

The joy within ruptures the sheath of grief around me.

Floating in ecstasy, I answer my mind.

I feel you curled in d loop of my hair.

My eyes see your reflection in d mirror.

My neck feels your tickling fingers.

My palm feels your fingers in my finger gaps.

My head feels as if my pillow were your shoulder.

Your voice reverberates in my ears.

My heart beats in sync with yours.

‘Distance’ is only a physical attribute.

If you are not around me, you are within.

In all I am, in all I do.

I need not see, hear, talk & feel you

For I have seen, heard, spoken & felt you enough.

My mind just smiles at me,

Delighted by my words, it retracts its question, "does distance really matter!?"
