Distance is hard.
People always say...in a long distance relationship the only thing missing is the physical aspect.
But you know..
Its more than that.
Two people living different lives. Having different experiences. And as much as you want to, you can't always be there for yr significant other. You can't be involved with what they're going through. And of course, the pesky business of time zones.
As much as I miss the hugs and kisses.. The thing I miss the most would be being a real part of their everyday life.. Instead of some obscure thought in his mind.
You know.. The person he could turn to at any time of the day and able to BE there.. Instead of reading the msg when I wake up hours later (like I said, pesky time zones).The person he could share how's yr day been at the end of everyday. Instead of forgetting all the minor details when we do get the chance to talk..
I don't know..
I dnt think I wld ever encourage someone to start a long distance relationship.. Its not easy..
But then I rmb all we've been through.. The happy memories.. Even the squabbles and how we make up. How he's always there for me. Someone I cld talk heart to heart with and just be me. Yet he still loves me for it..
How cld I just give up on tht?
In the end, its how much we want to make it work tht counts.. When one stops trying.. Thts where trouble starts.
A long distance relationship is hard. But not impossible.
My hope is mine would have a happy ending to it.
