You see, my mind takes me far, but my heart dreams of return.

About This Quote

When you see someone who is far away, your mind can take you to wherever they are. The mind’s imagination is so powerful that it can take you places that you have never been before. However, what you feel by heart may be the only thing that brings you back. When we are close to those we love, we can feel their presence and remember them as much as we want. They live in the memories of our hearts and will always be there.
