Don't measure the distance; measure my love..

Darfur keeps me away from many things I love. 

But the hardest of those is the person I love. 

I just stumbled across these words below, and although they do not ease my pain, they at least remind me that we are two people willing to recognize the beauty in something and lodge it in our hearts, even when we cannot reach out and touch it. 

"Distance is not for the fearful, it is for the bold. It's for those who are willing to spend a lot of time alone in exchange for a little time with the one they love. It's for those knowing a good thing when they see it, even if they don't see it nearly enough..."
