Sitting in my home,
Thinking of a boy
So far from me in everyway.
I try to be there for him,
But the distance is too great.
What can I do to help a friend,
When their troubles lie 2000 miles away.
The boy I think I love,
Longs to run in the fields,
Where his life used to lie.
He longs to take those long walks on the beach with his girl,
The ones she so enjoys.
What can I do when his problems lie so far away?
Why do I love this boy when the distance is so great?
Friends till the end,
Is what we say,
But how I wish we could be something more,
Something a little stronger…
But what can I do,
When he lies 2000 miles away?
It just might be that the distance is too great.

Thank You so much!
I know that not alot of people can relate to this, but I'm glad that someone can! Even though it is kinda sad...
So where does your 'friend' live?
Mine is in California...

Well, I am glad you enjoyed it! :D

So sad, and so easy to relate to... O've felt that before, and it came true, but thats when all the real problems began, but its great now as friends. Unfortunately, it happens again, and i hate that feeling of helplessness. I want to be there, but i can't be there!!!!! Hate it, hate it, hate it, HATE IT!!!!!!! Its not that there is a large physical distance, more a mental one. They wont allow me to get close, for both our benefit, but im willing to admit i would be sellfish enough to sacrifice what i have for them... but i know its wrong in my case...
Sorry, obviously this poem reached me....but in a good way!! Have a beautiful day, take care and i hope you feel better after reading this commet.

I wrote this about a friend who lives about two thousand miles away from me... But I am glad you can interpret it in more then just one way! :D

I'm glad that you liked it and hope you dont have to go through this again.

I know the feeling...When someone you care about is so far away and you wish so deeply that you could be there for them, but you cant...

I really like it and you definitely got me beat on it...

Ahhh, sad. But cute. I liked it, great flow and sense of rhyme, loose as it is. The structures really good as well. Brilliant job.

Thank You so much!
In my school, poetry is deemed as lame, but I write it as best I can! :D
I have a group that gets together and writes once and a while!
I am glad you liked the rhyming, even though I dont really think I meant it to rhyme! Glad that it did though! :D
