as near as possible
Once the realization is accepted that
even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue,

if they succeed in loving the distance between them
which makes it possible for each to see
the other whole against the sky.


— Rainer Maria Rilke

and I burned for Your peace.

― Augustine of Hippo ―

even when they make love, it never feels close enough.
