Love From A Distance Poem by Whitney Nicole Albright*

Love, from a distance,
Is a revelation
Millions of words
In one formation

Love, from a distance,
Is a breakthrough healing
A living dream
Of dearest feelings

Love, from a distance,
Is all but a waste
A painful hunger
For a peculiar taste

Love, from a distance,
Is an envious view
Two squinting eyes
Can’t see through

Love, from a distance,
Is but an affliction
A mere craving
For tender addiction

Love, from a distance,
Is a miserable anguish
A lingering ache
Leaving grief and languish

Love, from a distance,
Is a tragedy to some
But love, from a distance,
Is close as I’ll come

Yes, love, from a distance,
Will never touch me
Love, from a distance,
Is close as I’ll be
