Poems/Quotes:
Poems and quotes can have a way of giving comfort, support, and insipiration.  I hope the following additions touch your heart in some way and help you through the challenges of being in an LDR.
The distance seems so far
And like it will never end
yet no matter how many oceans away
no matter how many hours apart
no matter how many days until I see you again
you are always near my heart
                            -Lysh
Poems:
I love you like I have never known love before
you have brought meaning into my life
you have shown me what true happiness feels like
And no matter how far you are right now
the pain I feel of missing you
is nothing compared to my love for you
and the love you have given me back
you are my heart and soul
you are my one true love
and I count my lucky starts
that we found eachother
and I will count the minutes
until we can be together again.
                    -Lysh   
          

No matter how far you will be
your love will still be strong inside of me
through the days that goes bye
Knowing you love me and I'm sky high
even though the odds are so low
Its a distance I'm willing to go
throughout and beyond the distance we're apart
being so far away tears at my heart
even if it goes to the years
missing you puts me in tears
I don't give up and toss our love away
because I know our dream will come true some day.
             By, Colt Aaron Rosenberg
To Marc:
I see your face back in a distant land
Then our eyes meet like they did once before
And now I hear that you're back in the band
Maybe it would be smart to listen to the lore
But we know love will make up for lost time
There's still those stone walls that tear us apart
But it's not like we're commiting a crime
Why won't they listen, they're breaking our hearts
I know you know that I'll be back to you
Just soon as these demons are dead and past
We will share those secrets that no one knew
And still we wonder if our love will last.
One of those mysteries that I ponder,
Why must absense make the heart grow fonder?
*Hannah*
Maybe we are suppose to meet he wrong person before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet he right right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.  Maybe when the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has opened for us.  Maybe the best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.  Maybe it is true that we don't know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it arrives.  Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back.  Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart; but if it does not, be content it grew in yours. It takes a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile. There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams adn hug them for real.  Dream what you want to dream; go wehre you want to go; be what you want to be, because you only have one life to live and one chance to do all the things you want to do. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, anough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy. Always put yourself in others shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person too. The happiness of other people doesn't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of the people who have touched their lives. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on wellin life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

Love Invades
Gliding through daily life,
a happy mask, inside my
soul is yearning
I try to think of pleasant things,
strong thoughts
invade my brain.....

Gliding through conversation,
smile on my face though tears shine
in my eyes,
bittersweet taste,
feelings,
invade my soul.....

Slowly trudging through my classes,
a dreamer's look, my brain is elsewhere
my soul is reaching,
catch myself and concentrate,
dreams invade my thoughts.....

Drag my lazy butt out of bed,
sadness openly reflected,
feelings inside worn outside,
my soul is
weeping,
love truly conquers all
So what should boundaries of love's acceptance be? 

Blind fold us from birth so we see not the characteristics of others
Until such time the gift of speech is ours.
Construct a solid wall between our existence
Keeping identity still unknown like a single-colored puzzle.

Let us converse with one another and become familiar
With a personality without a face.

Grow feelings from my words and cherish my compliments;
Allow your ears to fall in love with the soft sound of my voice
And sustain not a single sensation that your anxious heart may feel.
Only when perpetually has existed time enough
That there are no secrets to keep hidden,
Except those all too controversial physical features,
Then shall you deconstruct that solid wall.

Now we stand eye-to-eye for the very first time.
As our minds recall the vibes we felt and the feelings we adored,
Should the fact that your branches reach further than mine
Affect the happiness that our hearts felt through words?
And if by some miracle that happiness was indeed true love

Then should that not be all that matters?

         ~ James T. Verona

Love Songs:
The Distance by Evan and Jaron
The sky has lost it's color
The sun has turned to grey
At least that's how it feels to me
Whenever you're away

I crawl up in the corner
As I watch the minutes pass
Each one brings me closer to
The time when you'll be back
You're coming back

I can't take the distance
I can't take the miles
I can't take the time
Until the next time I see you smile
I can't take the distance
And I'm not ashamed
That I can't take a breath without saying your name
I can brave a hurricane
And still be standing tall when all the dust has settled down
But I can't take the distance

I still believe in feelings
But sometimes I feel too much
I make believe you're close to me
But it ain't close enough
Not nearly close enough
Whenever You Call

Love...Wondered inside
Stronger than you.....Stronger than I
And now...that it has begun
We cannot turn back......We can only turn
Into One

I won't ever be too far away to feel you
And I won't hesitate at all
Whenever you call
And I'll always remember the part of you so tender
I'll be the one to catch your fall
Whenever you call

And I truly inspire
Finding my soul....there in your eyes
And you have opened my heart
And lifted me inside....By showing yourself
Undisguised

I won't ever be too far away to feel you
And I won't hesitate at all
Whenever you call
And I'll always remember the part of you so tender
I'll be the one to catch your fall
Whenever you call

And I will breathe for you each day
Comfort you through all the pain
Gently kiss your fears away
You can turn to me and cry
Always understand that I
Give you all I have inside

I won't ever be too far away to feel you
And I won't hesitate at all
Whenever you call

I won't ever be too far away to feel you
And I won't hesitate at all
Whenever you call
And I'll always remember the part of you so tender
I'll be the one to catch your fall
Whenever you call
I'm already There

Wish I was in your arms
Lying right there beside you
But I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight
And I'll gently kiss your lips
Touch you with my fingertips
So turn out the light and close your eyes

I'm already there
Don't make a sound
I'm the beat in your heart
I'm the moonlight shining down
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there until the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh I'm already there

We may be a thousand miles apart
But I'll be with you wherever you are

I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there until the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh I'm already there
Oh I'm already
There
