From A Distance

I always had this knack for finding songs that seemed to just hit me right in the middle of my heart.  One line is enough to send me on a  trip down memory lane. It could be because I have this habit of connecting my life to songs. My love life to be exact. 

And now I found this another song, Long Distance by Bruno Mars. It tells how hard it is to be in a long distance love affair. No, I don't have a long distance love affair. But I do have someone I love who is so far away from me. 

Hell, I don't even have an idea where you are right now. All I could do is pray and hope that wherever you are, you're doing great, that you're happy, and that even for just a while, you're thinking of me. I wish. 


Yes, this song speaks my life right now. All I had were bittersweet memories, your picture in a frame and my hyperactive imagination that never fails to include you in my daydreams.  When I think about it, the song reminds me how far away you are.  And I am not talking about mere physical distance. It reminded of that one moment when I was standing right before you, less than a meter apart, and yet I could feel this very high wall between us. You were so distant, so far away that I felt that even if I physically closed that distance I would still fail to reach you, hold you, touch you. And yet, I still want to be close to you. No matter how far you are, I still want to be with you. But for now, all I could do is love you from afar. Really, really far.
