Promise

I love you more from a distance

Like your photograph in my wallet

A letter in my favourite novel

A memory of your last kiss

You are the star I watch from earth

Like an insomniac stargazer

Soaking in your light

Like a moon yearning every night

Yes, I love you more from a distance

That is what you wanted

That’s what love has turned me into

"An irrevocable promise of distance"
