Miles Between Our Hearts
A Soft Poem About Distance, Love, and the Spaces We Learn to Cross

There are miles between our hearts,
Long roads that neither of us can see,
Silent paths where dreams travel slowly,
Carrying pieces of you back to me.
You are far, yet somehow close,
Like a whisper that stays in the air,
A memory that never fades,
A feeling that refuses to disappear.
I walk through days with your name in my smile,
With your voice resting gently in my mind.
Even distance cannot dim the warmth
You leave behind in every thought.
Some nights feel longer than others,
The sky stretching wide and lonely,
But even across the quiet distance,
I feel the heartbeat of your hope.
Your presence lives in little things—
In the songs that cross my path,
In the wind that brushes past my face,
In the stars that glow when everything sleeps.
I reach for you in ways you cannot see,
In prayers, in memories, in soft breaths,
In moments where your absence feels heavy,
Yet your love still feels light.
Distance teaches the heart patience,
Shows us how to hold someone gently
Even when hands cannot touch
And voices cannot find the same air.
I miss you in simple ways—
In morning light, in empty chairs,
In laughter that waits for you to return,
In stories that feel unfinished without you.
But love, real love, does not break with miles.
It stretches, it bends, it learns, it grows.
It becomes stronger in the quiet spaces
Where longing turns into understanding.
The miles between our hearts may be long,
But they are filled with memories,
With promises we whisper to ourselves,
With faith that distance cannot erase.
One day, these miles will shrink,
And the space between us will soften
Like morning light on a peaceful day.
Until then, I carry you with me—
In my steps, in my hope,
In the gentle beat of a heart
That has never forgotten yours.
For even when we stand far apart,
Love finds a way to travel,
Crossing every quiet mile
With courage, kindness,
And a promise that remains.
