it isn’t the first time we have been apart. we know very well how it feels to be so far from each other time after time. yet, i never wished to be reminded of the long distance that holds us away. even though we may be used to not seeing each other as often, it still isn’t the same to be even farther from you than i am now. and regardless of how much we want to be there for each other, we can’t.

“caring for the other person with no doubt is love, wanting her is love..but wanting her less also increases your own control over emotions and feelings which just cannot be received all the time”

yet, you told me not to think we are two hours apart or even miles apart, but instead, think that you are next to me. you told me not to think we are three months apart, but instead, think we are seconds apart from seeing each other at home. and because of that, the confidence you have gives me courage, and i know that even if we are on opposite sides of the globe, i can still conquer and endure any distances. as you once said, “the struggles of the present may be laying a foundation for a happier tomorrow” and i am willing to go through this hardship with you now for that better tomorrow.

truth is, even though we are so far apart, we are much closer than we appear to be.

“i can hear your heartbeat from a mile away or even across the world because our heartbeats are in sync. so if i’m hearing mine, i hear yours”
