Sometimes you could be two feet away from someone, yet the distance feels like 200 miles. Other times you're hundreds of miles apart yet it feels as though they are always with you. Funny how that works...
It doesn't have to be anything other than what it is. I have often chosen to believe distance gives us time to grow toward one another; or, discover we were to only learn something and move on.
Distance could either bring you more closer or farther apart. But I believe if what you feel for each other is true no distance can change that even if it's a hundred or thousand miles.
