Inscriptions: Though far apart to memory dear

It's only the distance divides us.
In thought you are always near
No true hearts are ever parted
When faithful as ours are dear.
For memories sweet always bind them
And difference no distance will make.
For they still are in thought close together
Because it's for true love's sake.
