The furthest distance in the world

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 together

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

I'm sure you have heard this before '世界上最遥远的距离，不是生与死
而是我就站在你的面前，你却不知道我爱你'. It's like so over quoted. But even so, this is one of the nicest poem I've ever come across. This is not by Rabindranath Tagore though even if it was often thought that way.
