even if you're far away

In a few weeks, Birdie and P are leaving for the opposite coast. They are there for the winter and spring.

Me? For lots of reasons, I am staying behind.

Me, and the boat.

What happens after that, is a bit unsure.

"Bird, you know we'll be kind of far away from each other this winter."
"But you'll come visit, right? All the time?"
"Of course."
"And, Bird, no matter how far away I am, you know I love you, right?"
"You'll always be my Miwa."
"Yup. You know I'll always be your Miwa."

Mountains can be moved and great canyons dammed. Canals may join oceans. But some things can't be changed, no matter what the geography looks like.
