Going The Distance Poem by Jeremy Willson

Going The Distance

Rating: 5.0


People are always so concerned about the distance
But it's only as far or as near as you make the expanse
That they are worried about, but what they don't realize
Is that distance is not measurable and I'm not wise
I believe people can love many people at one time
And time doesn't measure love either, it's more like a climb
You keep climbing higher just to fall, in love like new
Love makes us do stupid things and makes us say them too
Distance makes us wary but we all crave challenges
Even if you're shy and distance with silences
Love conquers all things so distance doesn't matter
We'll climb and climb that ladder
Like a dumb, naive, fool
Because falling in love is something for a mule
And I am the biggest jackass this side of the Mason Dixon
But at least I'm a handy man so I'm great at fixin'
That broken heart, those open wounds, and that void
Even if you think that all space for love has been destroyed
I'll make them wish otherwise and they'll figure it out
Distance really doesn't matter and I've never had a doubt
