The furthest distance in the world

-Author: Tagore

The furthest distance in the world is not the distance 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 standing in front of you, but that you can't say I love you when you are obsessed with it;

The furthest distance in the world is not that I can't say I love you, but that I miss you so much that I can only bury it in my heart.

The furthest distance in the world is not that I can't say I miss you, but that I love each other but can't be together;

The furthest distance in the world is not loving each other but not being together, but pretending not to care when you know that true love is invincible.

The furthest distance in the world is not the distance between trees, but the branches that grow from the same root, but cannot depend on each other in the wind;

The furthest distance in the world is not that the branches can't depend on each other, but that the stars face each other without intersecting tracks;

The farthest distance in the world is not the trajectory between the stars, but even if the trajectories meet, there is nowhere to be found in the blink of an eye;

The furthest distance in the world is not that you can't find it in an instant, but that you are doomed to meet it before you meet it;

The farthest distance in the world is the distance between fish and birds, one in the sky and the other in the depths of the sea;

The furthest distance in the world is not the distance between trees, but the branches that grow from the same root, but cannot depend on each other in the wind;

The furthest distance in the world is not that the branches can't depend on each other, but that the stars face each other without intersecting tracks;

The farthest distance in the world is not the trajectory between the stars, but even if the trajectories meet, there is nowhere to be found in the blink of an eye;

The furthest distance in the world is not that you can't find it in an instant, but that you are doomed to meet it before you meet it;

The farthest distance in the world is the distance between fish and birds, one in the sky and the other in the depths of the sea.
