When people think of love,
they often think of someone close,
a hand to hold,
a shoulder to lean on,
a face they can see every day.
But love comes in many forms.
Sometimes it begins through a screen,
through a message,
a video game,
or a simple conversation that feels like it lasts forever,
People may never meet in person at first,
yet somehow their hearts still find each other.
That's how it was for me.
Even though my stinky boy is far away,
we make it work.
That's the thing about love
it doesn't care about miles,
time zones,
or the distance between two people.
It's the bond you two make with each other…
My stinky boy is as sweet as candy,
and as handsome as the moon hanging in the night sky.
He makes me laugh in ways no one else can,
turning ordinary days into memories I'll always cherish.
We play games together,
talk about everything and nothing,
and somehow every moment feels special
simply because he is there.
Distance may separate us,
but it has never changed the way I feel.
Because love isn't measured by how close someone stands beside you.
Sometimes,
it's measured by how close they remain to your heart,
even when they're far away.
And I am so happy to have him,
because he means more to me,
than words could ever truly say.
