**When Love Stands Afar**
*Jessy Jacob ❤️*

Our union,
even our distance,
is written for a reason.
When we are apart,
we grow closer�"
not by steps,
but by soul.

Our ecstasy blooms quietly,
spreading peace into the world 🌎,
like unseen fragrance
carried by the wind.
Even our staying afar
softens storms
we never speak about.

I see you�"
holding the edge of my saree pallu,
your face so small,
eyes asking,
“Where is my hug?”

You follow me,
tapping your head gently,
as if to say,
“I am already hugging you.”
And you laugh softly,
“Then why do I still feel cold?”

I hold your face,
kiss your chin,
and whisper,
“You have not touched me fully yet.”
For love is not arms alone�"
it is warmth meeting warmth.

We choose to love,
even when hatred stands before us.
We love those who hurt us,
hoping love will tire their anger,
hoping kindness
will silence their wounds.

Sometimes I still see
the shadow of hate in their eyes.
So we love more.
Not because it is easy�"
but because love
is the only answer
we know.

And wherever we stand�"
together or afar�"
our love remains
the reason.
