They say absence makes the heart grow fonder

Right now? 

All my heart feels is pain

Pain because I am not with you

Pain because you cannot wrap me in your arms and tell me it's alright

Pain because we are seperated by thousands of miles

Pain because you are so close to my heart and so far from me

Pain because what we had will never be the same

No, my heart has not grown fonder

A piece of it has stayed with you

Over a year later, and I can testify that your heart will heal itself spectacularly.
