You’re the one who broke my heart, you’re the reason my world fell apart, you’re the one who made me cry, yet I’m still in love with you and I don’t know why.

My heart was taken by you… broken by you… and now it is in pieces because of you.

Yes, you. You are constantly running through my mind. You are all I think about. You are the reason why I smile. You are the one that gives me butterflies. You are the reason why I get tongue tied. You have the voice I can’t stop thinking about. You have the smile that makes my whole day. You, I love you. A lot. 

But instead of a list, I  always give you a sigh. Because how do I tell you how much the tiny space in between my ribs aches when I’m not with you? How do I begin to weave layers upon layers of words how it feels to listen to you sleep at night? I write because speaking is too much of an obstacle. But what happens when I can’t even find the right words to write down to describe the emptiness that is in my chest, in my head, in my arms, where you’re supposed to be?

You ask me why I love you? But how do you count the stars?

You are the air which I breathe,

the blood which I bleed.

My love, my love, please let us be,

whatever love is, it is we.

I’ve seen our future, bright as the sun,

we take some pictures, and get on a wedding run.

I wear this ring that you present,

vow to me and forever be heaven-sent.

How do you make up for the distance, the time difference, and the inability to touch or see each other like any normal couple?

Effort. You don’t exactly need to see or touch a person to know who they are and what they’re capable of. Just put effort into communicating, go the extra mile by staying up late or waking up early or whatever… It’s not as hard as it seems. It does suck though to be that far away from someone but what can you do, right? The distance isn’t something that will last forever though so it’s okay.

it really tries your patience. No, make that your character. Your character and the depth of your love. What really sucks is when you fight, you also have to fight yourself if you want to save your relationship. Fight all the anger, pride, ego, and pain to fix it. You have to sit down and talk. You have to calm down and be rational. Unlike most couples who are together in real life, sometimes, all it takes is a single hug and kiss to make everything better. But in LDR’s, you don’t really have that luxury. You have to do it the hard way. And I guess that’s what makes the love so strong when you both get through all that. 

Basically, it really is all about communication, once you take one wrong turn, things can get really messy and even then, it’s still up to the both of you to talk it out and fix it. 

Most ardently, wholeheartedly, unconditionally and irrevocably for all of eternity, no doubt.

I love you! :) ♥
