Long Distance Poem by Safiyyah Manjra

What caused you to be the host?
To our love, I make a toast.

Many days go without beautiful dresses and a pampered face.
Still, I can't look you in the eye without feeling disgraced.

Tell me why?
Do I feel so shy?

I am not used to this.
Even though it has been two years and I haven't yet felt your kiss.

I want to be with you.
There is still so much I have yet to do.

It breaks me every day.
Knowing I can't make myself stay.

I want you to come to me,
I want to hold you ever so tightly.

I want to know what it is like to look you in the eye.
I don't know why.

I have strange desires for these things when it comes to you.
I break so many rules and it is not something I usually do.
