Feeling Those Long Distance Relationship Blues

Why did you do this to me again?
I guess I will never understand men,
Without a word, you disappear,
And leave me alone, bombarded by fear.

You've said you want to keep me near,
But days have gone by, now it's four years,
And your world is still there, mine is here,
And I have lonely nights, in bed with my tears.

Distance separates us, without any goals,
Sometimes it seems we're on opposite poles,
Our physical connection is only online,
In OUR LDR, I'm YOURS, you're MINE.

Technology is a double-edged blade,
Yet for LDR, it seems to have been made,
Without it, togetherness seems to fade,
But Skype can make it all worthwhile,
And leave us both with a lingering smile.

I'm trying hard to give you space,
But sometimes it seems I have no place,
And sometimes the tears stream down my face,
And I feel like we are losing the race.

WONDERING AS THE YEAR BEGINS: ANSWERS FROM OUR HEARTS

The answer to my questioning poem came to me in chat,
You said I already knew, and that was simply that,
A new direction came to life, heartfelt, mutually,
A way out of all the strife, accepted, naturally.

You said you have a life, and so do I,
But neither of us could say goodbye,
Others need us where we are,
But LOVE is still our Guiding Star.

Our paradigm is unorthodox, and lessons never end,
We didn't want to rock the boat,
But we are more than friends,
We bound ourselves to a Strange New World,
Online, our flags unfurled.

And now we vow til the end of our days,
To be together in this way,
Our familiar LDR, Loving from afar,
Now becomes our way of life,
And I become your internet wife.

Now we may never know, just what might have been,
The dream of physicality, a once-hoped-for reality,
Has transmuted suddenly,
But we are still more than friends,
With love and passion that never ends.

WONDERING AS THE YEAR BEGINS

Will this be our year,
A year with less fear,
Not so many tears,
Time with less anger,
And feeling less danger?

Will you be free,
To come to me,
Speak to me with honesty,
Tell me how you feel,
And be real?

Will this be our time in the sun,
Coming out of the shadows,
Emerging, as ONE,
Will you let the Truth be known,
And proclaim me as your own?

Will this be our year to dream and plan,
A future together, as woman and man,
Physically living side by side,
Offline with no more reason to hide,
At last HOME with me to abide?
