The Furthest Distance In The World
BY RABINDRANATH TAGORE
The furthest distance in the world
is not between life and death,
but when I stand in front of you
yet you don't know that
I love you.
The furthest distance in the world
is not when I stand in front of you
yet you can't see my love,
but when undoubtedly knowing the love from both
yet cannot
be together.
The furthest distance in the world
is not being apart while being in love,
but when plainly cannot resist the yearning
yet pretending
you have never been in my heart.
The furthest distance in the world
is not pretending you have never been in my heart,
but using one's indifferent heart
to dig an uncrossable river
for the one who loves you.
