It is so easy to fall in love, and to 'connect' with another, <br />but what else is needed to become a complete lover? <br />Do we have enough 'cement' to hold us together for life? <br />Do we have enough knowledge to prevent us from strife? <br /> <br />We are really beautiful together in mind and in verse - <br />but what of our differences? Would we drift apart, or worse? <br />You live so very far away - many long kilometers from me - <br />from the harsh, earthy country - to the salty sands of the sea. <br /> <br />Your heart is very young and is made of pure gold. <br />Mine has lived longer, although young, so I am told. <br />My past has been that of many a culture <br />and has helped me to grow and mature. <br /> <br />We could not be together for some years to come, <br />and that would be a real problem to many or some. <br />Perhaps we should love from a distance and with memories <br />and the thoughts of our brief times - and our beautiful stories. <br /> <br />'Absence makes the heart grow fonder', <br />some say, but I really must wonder, <br />if it would not be that 'out of sight <br />and out of mind', would be our plight. <br /> <br />The mind and heart with close memories do hurt <br />as I walk alone, along the roads of my coastal 'dirt'. <br />I cannot help but wonder if our 'connection' brings <br />good - as it so strongly tugs at the heart strings.<br /><br />Colleen Wright<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/heart-strings/
