Full Poem

A Love Beyond Distance

It pains me, love, to be away,
On this bright and tender day.
Yet in my heart, you shine so near,
A love so deep, forever dear.

Though miles may stand between our touch,
My heart still beats for you so much.
No distance strong enough to part,
The love we hold within our heart.

For time is kind to those who wait,
And fate will weave a perfect date.
When hand in hand, we’ll laugh and share,
A love so true, beyond compare.

So, till that day, my heart will stay,
Wrapped in your love in every way.
Happy Valentine’s, my sweetest one,
Our love’s a story just begun.
