Pen Pals - A Friendship So Close Yet So Far

Poem: So close, yet so far So far, yet so close So beautiful, yet so difficult So difficult, yet so beautiful.

That’s how one would describe this friendship

Where I can’t hold onto you Where our embraces can’t get through,

Where tears and smiles and laughter are unseen,

Where every day I can only dream

Of seeing you in person Of knowing you in person Of having you in person.

Until then, Let’s count the constellations Let the stars align

Let’s talk through these letters Word by word Time by time.

And so what if we’re cities apart? States apart? Countries apart? A whole continent apart?

Even if you were in outer space I promise you I’ll wait

Moments shared through pen scribbles

Yes, it’s all worth the wait.

You are worth it, my friend. Even if I can’t take your hand.

You are worth it my friend. Even if we’re separated forever by life’s tricky plan.

Just know that I’ll be here A piece of paper away And that this friendship Is here to stay.

Love, Your Pen Pal.
