Long Distance Love

How do you wait
At least 3 years
For a possible soul mate
But have no fears

For you, I open my gate
And wish that you were here
But you live in another state
Yet another reason to fear

But I fear because I care
And I care because I love you
It’s a kind of love that is rare
And shared by very few

My love, in every form, is undying
For me losing you is would like dying
You are a gift greater than everything
And for you, I’ll do anything

I’ll wait for you, over these next few years
And together we’ll overcome our greatest fears
