The Furthest Distance in the world is actually not Tagore's!
this poem was originally from a popular poem on Chinese internet forums. The writer is ananymous, but not Tagore as everyone quoted it....
how interesting! and very nice!
所有人包括英语读者都以为这首是泰戈尔的，还在网上搜索西班牙的翻译，结果它是中国网络上流传的一首网络诗……很漂亮的诗。有趣。

世界上最远的距离
世界上最远的距离，不是生与死的距离，而是我站在你面前，你不知道我爱你；
世界上最远的距离，不是我站在你面前，你不知道我爱你，而是爱到痴迷却不能说我爱你；
世界上最远的距离，不是我不能说我爱你，而是想你痛彻心脾，却只能深埋心底；
世界上最远的距离，不是我不能说我想你，而是彼此相爱，却不能够在一起；
世界上最远的距离，不是彼此相爱却不能够在一起，而是明知道真爱无敌却装作毫不在意；
世界上最远的距离，不是树与树的距离，而是同根生长的树枝，却无法在风中相依；
世界上最远的距离，不是树枝无法相依，而是相互了望的星星，却没有交汇的轨迹；
世界上最远的距离，不是星星之间的轨迹，而是纵然轨迹交汇，却在转瞬间无处寻觅；
世界上最远的距离，不是瞬间便无处寻觅，而是尚未相遇，便注定无法相聚；
世界上最远的距离，是鱼与飞鸟的距离，一个在天，一个却深潜海底；
亲爱的，如今，你就在我身边，我们却不能在阳光下相爱。
The furthest distance in the world
Translated by muyv
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 font of you
Yet you can't see my love
But when undoubtedly knowing the love from both
Yet cannot be togehter
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 (you have never been in my heart)[1]
But using one's indifferent heart
to dig an uncrossable river
for the one who loves you
