Long Distance Dating: A True Story of Love and Waiting

Our history from the beginning was already written by the hands of God, and every detail was carefully designed by Him, nothing that happened in our lives was by chance.

It all started from the day that my family and I had to leave the city where we lived, because my father had been transferred to another city, which I had never heard of, little did I know that I would be meeting the great love of my life there. .

I confess that it was not easy to start my life all over again from scratch, because I was leaving all my friends, church, orchestra that played and the church band behind.

Arriving in the new city, everything was new, the customs and culture were completely different from what I was used to. The day we were introduced to our new congregation, there she was, with that sweet smile coming my way, leaving me delighted.

That was our first eye contact, but we didn’t have a lot of closeness at first, because she was from the teenagers group and I, because I’m tall, I ended up going straight to the youth group even though I was only fifteen years old.

After a while, we started to study at the same school and in the same prep course, where we had the same cycle of friendships, so we got closer and we became friends, but it wasn’t just friendship, I always had a “crush” for her.

We exchanged affection and walked together hand in hand, getting closer and closer to each other. With that, I fell in love with that beautiful, cheerful, affectionate, sweet girl who made me happy every day.

One morning, when my thoughts were all connected to her, I decided to compose a song dedicated to a very special person in my life, trying to expose everything I felt for her, every feeling and every characteristic that caught my attention in her.

The night when we were in the cram school talking about a note during class, I decided to tell her what I had done, managing to make her surprised, happy and very curious (she couldn’t believe I had done it).

The next day, I took the music to class, it also had a small text in which I declared myself and asked her to stay together; there was in her hands the opportunity to be happy, everything would depend on her.

The other day I asked her what her response would be to that request, and she accepted it, but would still ask for her mother’s support, otherwise nothing was done.

I was nervous, anxious, but I trusted God, because I knew He had the best for me. I remember well that night when she gave me the definitive answer, the most beautiful “YES” I have ever heard in my life, and from then on we started to live our story, with wonderful moments, but unfortunately that joy lasted a little while. more than a month, because we ended up separating.

What seemed like a beautiful love story was cut short so quickly and so painfully that it was hard to believe.

I started to ask God for a new love, every day in my prayers I spoke to Him in order to prepare the woman who would be my girlfriend, fiancee and wife in the future, I did not know that His plans would go far beyond what I thought or planned.

Days, weeks, months passed, but the love that had never ended was reborn and this time the little flame that still remained of our love, this time grew stronger and more intense.

After a little more than a year apart, I decided to take action, I couldn’t stand it, and while we were playing with friends simulating a wedding, where she was the bride and I was the groom, I said: “now the groom can kiss the fiancee” and stole a kiss from her, it seems that everything was in slow motion, my legs were shaking, my hands were sweating, it was a very difficult decision, because I was very shy, but on impulse I ended up taking this attitude that would change our lives.

However, that same night another guy had asked her out on a date, and she was left thinking. However, at the time of the kiss he saw everything, torturing her mind a lot, and indecision taking over. That night I couldn’t sleep, just thinking about the love of my life, that wonderful kiss and that feeling, it was so good that I felt lighter and fell asleep while praying thanking God for that moment.

We didn’t see each other for a few days, until one night at the cram school when we were leaving, I pulled her again to kiss her, but I couldn’t, that’s when we went to talk about that kiss and that other attempt.

I said I wanted to give us one more chance and what I was feeling for her, but I didn’t want an answer right there, so I let her think about us, about our kiss, about our love, and that this time we could start just to see if it was going to work out, because her fear was that we might break up with a little time dating again (something she abhors is this back-and-forth relationship).

So I had the idea of ​​staying for a while to see what would happen, only then to disclose to family and friends that we had returned. Days passed, we met and the answer was “yes”, she accepted to give us and our love one more chance.

When we were together for a month I was already sure that she was the one who made me happy, she who completed me and I was willing to fight for this love even more, I remember it as if it were yesterday, on that starry night, in that square, in that bandstand, I gave her a ring and asked her on a date, the happiness there was so immense and intense that it didn’t fit inside of us, there we started our love story again, really a fresh start, as I wanted to do everything different from what I did in For the first time, I made a point of going in person to ask her parents on a date.

As much as we were willing to fight for this love, she didn’t believe that we would make it more than a month together, and time went by, one, two, three months, happiness was so great that it seemed like a dream to have arrived in those three months. .

Time passed and the end of the year approached, we knew we would be separating, because I was confident that I would pass the entrance exam and would live in another city, and that’s what happened. The result of the entrance exam came out, we celebrated together, the joy was immense, but then it dawned on me that I would be leaving and would leave her.

We decided to insist more, we didn’t want to separate, so we decided to continue the relationship, we would start with a long-distance relationship, but how?

If we were used to seeing each other every day? I remember that departure, that goodbye was so painful, that tight hug, hearts beating hard and seeing her cry was the hardest for me, I tried to contain myself not to make her sadder, but when I got on that bus to leave, it was an immense pain, not being able to contain myself and my eyes filled with tears.

The first days were not easy, the emptiness was terrible, as if it would never end, but we fought and we were already managing to keep the relationship at a distance.

When I had a day off, the first thing I thought of was running into her arms, we lived incredible and happy moments, a few years passed and we had another sad news, this time my father would be transferred again, there, yes, we believe it was the end, it would be much harder to go back to a city where I no longer had my family and a house to stay.

I started to think about staying at a friend’s house so I could visit her, but my trips would decrease because I would also have to visit my parents on my days off from college, it was another terrible pain that we had to face together, but thanks to God, because of some problems at the company, my father was only away for a while, but then he came back.

The joy of receiving this news did not fit in our hearts, we kissed, hugged, smiled and cried, we were sure that was not where our story would end.

We continued our long-distance relationship, in which each goodbye was a grip on the heart, it was a pain that we “learned” to live with, and today we are here with five years of dating, for those who did not believe it would last even two months.

Sometimes we celebrate the anniversary of a distant relationship because of my studies, but all the days I spent by her side were wonderful and I would spend it all again just to feel the happiness of every time I’m by her side.
