The Distance


They had different opinions 

And quarreled over a matter 

End up turning their backs 

Against each other

And did not talk for days


It was about small things 

But they insisted on their stances

To safeguard their own dignities


The cold war persisted  

Gradually her heart softened

As she thought about his good


She gave him a warm smile

That was all needed 

To solve their impasse


Sometimes the distance 

Between bitter and sweet 

Is just a smile away
