There are several pains that make us suffer, but I learned quickly from life that none can equal the pain of not having you always around.

I dreamed that once I had you in my life, I would never let go of you. That we would be happy every day without exception and that our love would never have such a real barrier separating us.

But the truth is that things didn’t go as we planned and now… now we are forced to know how to deal with this distance.

I miss you so much.

Longing is having a tight heart for everything and anything else.

Not knowing how you really are… reading your messages and not knowing if you’re writing them with a smile on your lips or with tears in your eyes. It’s not knowing if you’re being honest when you say you’re better from the flu or if you just say it to not make me worried. Not being able to feel your beard scratching when you say you just shave it. Not knowing if you take care of yourself as well as I would. It’s knowing everything and knowing nothing…

My chest hurts when I remember hugging and happy.

Wanting you around and not having you makes me feel more and more unhappy with each day I’m away from you.

“When you come back?”

This is the question I always ask with my heart in my hands. Not because I don’t want to know, but because the answer might hurt.

“As soon as I can… as soon as possible. Promise!”

A sentence so simple that it could calm me down but it doesn’t have that effect on me. What I wanted to hear was that you come back tomorrow, yes, tomorrow would be the perfect day to have you back next to me, next to my heart.

When distance turns out to be unavoidable, there are several steps that approach.

First comes denial. Not being able to internalize that it’s going to happen, that we’re going to stay away from each other.

Then insecurity, jealousy and homesickness invade us. We start to think that it may not really work, that we are not prepared for such a step and that everything can fall apart without being able to do anything to stop it.

But trust begins to emerge. Then things seem to calm down, we realize that we can really trust each other and that’s what matters to make the relationship work.

And when we realize that we really have to know how to deal with the distance, we start to be creative. Yes, creative in the way we show our love. A romantic letter, a call in the middle of the night, a post on Facebook… it doesn’t matter, any gesture will be seen as the greatest demonstration of love ever! And then we realized that we were made for each other, even with this barrier that separates our love.

Because distance can separate two looks, but it will never be able to separate two hearts in love.
