how far away is love?

when searching
for love
in the old days, it was more
about geographical
issues,
than it was about attraction,
being it
love, or like, or lust.
how many miles did i have
to drive
to see her?
where was Aberdeen exactly?
where there tolls to pay,
did i need
EZ pass, where 
there ever bridges
washed out
in storms, where there
hills to climb.
what about in bad weather,
would i arrive
alive, navigating
the snow and ice.
and when i got there
would she show me the futon
in the far room,
where i could spend
the night?
