Alone...

I’m too alone in the world, yet not alone enough
to make each hour holy
I’m too small in the world, yet not small enough
to be simply in your presence, like a thing—
just as it is.

I want to know my own will
and to move with it.
And I want, in the hushed moments
when the nameless draws near,
to be among the wise ones—
or alone.

I want to unfold.
Let no place in me hold itself closed,
for where I am closed, I am false.
I want to stay clear in your sight.

I would describe myself like a landscape I’ve studied
at length, in detail;
like a word I’m coming to understand;
like a pitcher I pour from at mealtimes;

like my mother’s face;
like a ship that carried me
when the waters raged.

- Rainer Maria Rilke

Distances--Miles Apart


Is it true that when we start loosing someone we actually start appreciating their presence.
Its all about distances, the far someone go, the closer he comes.
I don't want distances, the only thing I want is "you".
It is the hope of hopes that we will surely be together where distance
will never keep us apart.
