A lonely Indian software professional in the USA

In the end, emotional comfort wins over material comfort

Why is it
That the distance between us
Does not separate us,
But gets us closer than before? 

Why is it
That the back aches
More than ever before,
Though this place is more comfortable?
 
Why is it
That I see the sights of the world
With tears in my eyes
Thinking about you?
 
Why is it
That the more time I spend talking to you,
The more I get the feeling
That we had to stop abruptly?
 
Why is it
That the more bravery you show,
The more I start feeling
That you are weak and defenseless?
 
Why is it
That every dollar I earn
Seems destined to be spent
In communicating with you?
 
Why is it
That the greed for material comforts
Seems to pale in comparison
With the greed for emotional comfort?

Vasu,
Why is it? .... because emotions are written on the next page before people see the light. Interesting point of view.
