From Afar distance is measured according to length
To love from afar takes courage and strength
Truly defining a love between two friends
A man and a woman which some can't comprehend
In a world where so many are unable to trust
Hard to imagine such a thing without lust
Looking beyond the physical to see something rare
Truly speaks volume of how much one cares
Knowing that some are not meant to be
From afar you build and share a love unconditionally
Fondness and admiration is what one detects
As they share a great sense of honor and respect
Based not on perception but one of true merit
They are able to see that the other wears it
From afar yet so close is the bond that's forged
That so many overlook or simply ignore
To stand in love you're never without it
To fall in love is where so many doubt it
From afar you are guaranteed not to miss a thing
You'll see the overall picture and know what it means
Given a chance to grow it can enrich each others life
Despite what other's may think who's to say they are right
Seeing love of a different kind to them doesn't exist
For they see love as something like hit or miss
But to love from afar there's no need to speculate
It comes from within no need to regulate
It's given freely and there's no price to pay
Thus there can never be a lost for what God has sent your way.
