The furthest distance in the world
is not between life and death
but when i stand in front of you
yet you don't know that
I love you
The furthest distance in the world
is not when i stand in front of you
yet you can't see my love
but when undoubtedly knowing the love from both
yet cannot
be togehter
The furthest distance in the world
is not being apart while being in love
but when plainly can not resist the yearning
yet pretending
you have never been in my heart
The furthest distance in the world
is not
but using one's indifferent heart
to dig an uncrossable river
for the one who loves you
--Ranbindranath Tagore
I've been reading Norweigian Wood by Haruki Murakami in English recently. God knows how many times I've read it in Chinese. When I bump this poem tonight, I suddenly feel nothing is more able to express the feeling that is aimed to be described by Murakami. Love stories are alike. But they just take different forms. Sorry if my definition is too arbitrary.

I love the book, whatever
I've also read the book many times. There is love, but love is not what he really want to say. What he is saying is about ourselves, how you will live your life and never get lost.
