Going the distance. It’s hard being in a long distance relationship especially when both of us had grown with each other. Arriving is the happiest moment but departing is one of the hardest things to cope with. It was painful to see you walk away while I was checking in at the airport. It was like you were fading into a mist and my vision is starting to become a blur, as we walk farther from each other, colors around me slowly turned black and white and as much as I wanted to stay, I can’t. I wish I could have, I wish it was that easy to just run back to you, scream your name and hug you from behind and never let you go, but it’s not. While I was in the plane, I try not to get emotional, since I was surrounded with people I don’t even know. I stared at my window while the plane takes flight, drifting away from the land I had stepped on, the boring land that I wanted to call my home, where my heart was. As soon as I see the city lights down below, imagining how far you are from me hurts so much. I reached home around 7 and read your text message, I wanted to break down and cry on the plane but I didn’t want to make a scene, as soon as I got out of the airport, I called you and just broke down right there and then. Now we’re just back to hearing each other’s voice through a line, with no physical attraction whatsoever. No holding hands, no kissing, no nothing. I know it’s going to be a long time again since I’m gonna see you but I know I need to look forward to it so it doesn’t hurt me as much. Thank you for such a great week you have shared with me, I know this will be one of the most memorable experience I had with you and we even made history to each other. I can’t wait to see you again.
“Loving you from a distance has taught me that even though it hurts, it’s all worth it when I get to see you smile and hold you in my arms for the first time in months … it’s taught me that true love doesn’t care about the distance, nor does it care about the age difference. It’s taught me that even though it’s hard to miss you, you’re always in my dreams. It’s taught me the true meaning of loneliness, and of the true beauty of the stars. I think that us being apart has only strengthened our friendship, and I know that next time you come home … we’ll be just like we were before.”
