The distance stretched across the barren air
A quiet ache too wide for hearts to bear
Each mile a weight too heavy to repair
A gap that left my longing stripped and bare
But then your eyes met mine across the space
A look so full it filled the empty place
The world grew smaller under that embrace
And every distance bowed before your grace
Your gaze connected shores that never touched
It bridged the roads the weary years had crushed
My scattered fragments gathered where they’d rushed
And formed again in presence I had trusted
So look at me when life feels torn apart
When miles draw scars across a fragile heart
For in your eyes all distances depart—
And nothing in this world remains apart
