The furthest distance in the world Is not when I stand in front of you Yet you cant see my love But when undoubtly knowing the love from both Yet cannot be together. The furthest distance in the world Is not being apart while being in love But when I plainly cannot resist the yearning Yet pretending you have never been in my heart. The furthest distance in the world Is not struggling against the tides But using ones indifferent heart To dig an uncrossable river For the one who loves you .Part B1.
