long poem

The furthest distance in the world

Tagore

( 1)

The furthest distance in the world is not between life and death, but when I stand in front of you, you don't know that I love you.

The furthest distance in the world is not that you don't know I love you when I stand in front of you, but that you know you love each other but can't be together.

The furthest distance in the world is not being together when you know you love each other, but pretending you are not in your heart when you can't resist this yearning.

The furthest distance in the world is not that you can't resist this yearning, but that you face someone who loves you, but dig an insurmountable ditch with indifferent heart.

(2)

The furthest distance in the world

Not the distance between life and death.

It's that I stand in front of you and you don't know that I love you.

The furthest distance in the world

It's not that I stand in front of you and you don't know that I love you.

But I love you so much that I can't say I love you.

The furthest distance in the world

It's not that I can't say I love you

I miss you deeply, but I can only bury you deeply in my heart.

The furthest distance in the world

It's not that I can't say I miss you.

But love can't be together.

The furthest distance in the world

Not in love but not together.

But pretending not to care when you know that true love is invincible.

(3)

The furthest distance in the world

Not the distance between trees.

But branches born from the same root can't depend on each other in the wind.

The furthest distance in the world

It is not that branches cannot depend on each other.

But those stars that look at each other but don't meet.

The furthest distance in the world

Not the trajectory between stars.

But even if these tracks meet, there is no place to find them in the blink of an eye.

The furthest distance in the world

It's not that the moment is nowhere to be found.

But we are doomed not to meet before we meet.

The furthest distance in the world

Is the distance between fish and birds.

One in the sky

One dived into the deep sea.

The furthest distance in the world

No, I'm standing right in front of you, and you don't know that I love you.

It's that I stand in front of you and you can't hear me say I love you.

The furthest distance in the world

It's not that you can't hear me I love you.

That is, I'll never have a chance to talk to you again
