Long Distance.

People ask me how i do it,
its terribly hard; i must admit.
The pain of distance is hard to bare,
but it's easier then not having you there.
They always wonder why i stay,
go for someone so young, and so far away.
I laugh and smile 'cause they'll never understand.
the way it feels when i get to hold your hand.
Seeing you little is better then none,
its true when i say, for me you're the only one.
distance is hard but i can deal,
for the love we share, most teens dont feel.
everlasting jealousy may come over me,
though that just shows the truth, cant you see?
it shows that im scared, scared that you'll leave,
i gotta be ready, gotta wear my heart on my sleeve.
i prepare for the worst so i'll never get hurt,
when im dealing with distance i'm always alert.
expiate the pain, its not all bad,
for this past year, is one of the best i've ever had.
replace the pain i've dealt and the tears i've cried,
with the memories made that i'll always hold inside...
look back on the truth, you'll see why i stay,
unlike most things, true love never fades away

Author notes

I got lost in thoughts thinking...
and its a topic i am asked very frequently...
i dated a guy for 9 months long distance...
and we are still kind of together(its VERY complicated, haha)...
no one understands how we do it... i haven't yet found a way to explain it.

i hope you all like it.. very short, i know..
but its something knew.=)

    go for someone so young, so far away.

    Should be:
    go for someone so young, and so far away.

    And

    its true when i say, for me your the only one.

    Should be:
    it's true when i say, for me you're the only one.


    And
    i gotta be ready, gotta have my heart on my sleeve.

    I personally think should be:
    i gotta be ready, gotta wear my heart on my sleeve.


    Well, for me, love, I liked the poem. But I hate it when people don't capitalize, and use their ' thingys.
    However, putting that aside, I really do like the poem (and I truly mean it) Sorry I kind of critized you a lot, it's just my opinions!

    I love this poem. I've been in a long distance relationship and it did work we've been together for 5 yrs now and live together. So it can work.
