Poem - The Difference Between Minutes and Miles (circa early 2000s)

The difference
Between minutes and miles…..

Is when I wait for you
For hours.

When you spend minutes with me
But leave me miles away.

When I call you
Just to hear your voice for 2 minutes.

When I see a sunset
And know you are seeing a sunrise.

If I could cross the miles
Would the minutes be longer?

If I could stretch minutes to hours
Would the miles be shorter?

I sit alone at midnight
While you see morning,

And the miles are too many,
The minutes too few.

But not one minute passes
That I don’t think of you

And the difference
Between minutes and miles.
