Love you from a thousand miles away
He had lost everything already
Not willing to lose another
But she had lost hope
From the example of her father and mother
He pushed his emotions deep down
Not wanting to face today
But she was worried for tomorrow
In the future.. can she stay?
He begged her not to leave
But he already turned away
And she already knew the price they'd pay
If she were to walk his way
He told her in the future that they would be okay
But she already knew that love is grown to decay
they ponder the conversation in their head on replay
Grudgingly in love from a thousand miles away

I love the simple language that have been used here! You have described this situation so nicely and simply in a way I wish I were able to. I liked the first half a lot and I love the message of the poem, it talks about a very relatable feeling a lot of us feel in our relationships and what we have grown to expect out of love. If i could make a few comments it would be about the rhyming scheme in the second half, I love the rhyming so much, a part of me wishes it went throughout the poem, also a few lines at the end seem a little off maybe something to do with how the lines were structured and maybe a few missing letters. all in all though its a really solid poem with a message that will resonate with a lot of people, thank you so much for sharing! :))
