I’ve been in a long distance relationship since October. And when I say long distance, I mean long distance…..15 hours of distance in fact. I’m not talking, “I only get to see my boyfriend on the weekends” I’m talking “I only see my boyfriend for three days every 6 weeks.” As with any relationship there are ups and downs. There are good days and really bad days. The only thing that may be different from a relationship that is just across the street is the physical aspect.
You don’t hold hands, you hold your cell phone.
You don’t kiss goodnight, you fall asleep on your phone or wave bye on skype.
You can’t leave surprises at their house or their office…only in their mailbox.
You pay unrealistic amounts of money to see each other for just two days.
You surround yourself with pictures of them just to feel close.
And you settle.
You settle for a smiley face on a text message when what you really need is a hug.
You settle for a phone up against your ear when what you really want to do is cuddle.
Long distance is….well….inconvenient.
Love on the other hand…..love is worth it.
