Long Distance Relationship

Sincerely,

Long distance relationships aren’t always ideal.

They’re really tough. You spend countless of hours

Just talking through a phone or through a screen.

You can’t even see the person

When you want to or when you need to,

You can’t hug, you cannot hold hands,

And you can’t kiss. You lose intimacy in a physical sense.

But then, your relationship becomes

Based on each other and nothing else

You can learn to communicate,

Because a long – distance relationship

Without communication is absolute nothing.

You learn to trust,

Because you can’t always see

Or know everything the person is doing.

You learn to sacrifice because someone’s

Always going to lose a bit of sleep

From time to time difference.

And lastly, you learn to appreciate.

So often, we take for granted

The people and relationships in our lives

Because we think they’ll always be there.

We don’t know the value of a moment

Until it becomes a memory

But when you only have a limited

Amount of time with a person,

You learn to appreciate and cherish

Every single moment you have with them.

When you finally see that person

After weeks or months of seeing them

Only through a computer screen via

Skype or webcam, or talking  via phone calls,

It is one of the greatest feelings in the world.

When you’ve waited for something

For so long and you finally have it

You cherish it.

The key to a long distance relationship

Is faith if both of you are not willing to give you.

If both of you are willing to stand tall and try

After every time one of you or both of you fall down.

Distance relationships

Isn’t for the timid and the fearful,

It’s for the brave, bold and strong.

It’s for those who are willing to spend

A lot of time alone in exchange

For the little time with the one they love.
