A Raising Map

To My Sweetheart:
Distance is a word we created to describe the longer sequences of the little lines on a legend that tell you how many inches you are from love.
It is completely relative.
As the days pass and I contemplate the sea between us I remember that relative to the inches I am from the sun the sequence of little lines between us is miniscule.
If my legs would grow a little I could trample on the mountains and wade through the pool between us like I was on a hike for the afternoon.
I think that God will do this for me if I pray hard enough.
God sees the mundane symbolism of that legend. 
He knows how close I really am to you.
Distance is not forever.
The barriers are not concrete and We will descend upon the world together, Us three.
So I ask you, little heart inside my computer, how relative is your distance?
