My Valentine

-

-

6,679 miles 

Of salt water, 

Dessert and hills,

Rain forests,

And rice terraces;

10,748 kilometers

Of raging rivers,

Plateaus and cliffs,

Murky swamps,

And cobbled roads;

13 hours and 21 minutes,

Of turbulent flying,

Of navigating 

Treacherous shores,

Of coursing through

New found terrain

And lonely homes;

That's how far

You are to me,

But my every heart beat

Does not agree.
