A modified version of an original poem. (extended)
To know you...
The Greatest distance in this world,
is not the distance that spans across the universe,
nor is it the distances that separates life and death.
it is when I am standing right in front of you,
but I do not dare to tell you I love you.
The greastest yearning in the world,
is not the yearn to be the among the brightest stars,
nor is it the yearn to be the undying immortal,
it is when I am thinking of you,
but can be nowhere near you.
The greatest pride in this world
is not the pride of landing on the moon,
nor is it the pride of being a parent,
it is when I have nothing,
but I see you all around me..
The greatest joy in this world,
is not the joy of owning the unpossesable,
nor is it the joy of feeling alive,
it is when I am born into this world,,
when you would be too.
You must be the northstar in my sky,
shining ever bright, for that is the only star I see.
The star that gives me directions,
the star that gives me hope.
