They say long distance never works and I think that's stupid hearts pick people not places and it kills me that your place happens to be 6,189 miles away
But that has never meant I don't love you like you live next door but it also doesn't mean it isn't hard
I have never missed someone so deeply who I haven't actually lost and missing you is one of the most difficult things I've ever had to do
watching all of the other couples get to have the little things like goodbye kisses or falling asleep to the sound of your heartbeat instead of goodnight whispered through the phone
but it is all worth it the moment I run into your arms and I'm home again it drives me crazy not being able to be there with you but it would be worse to simply not be yours at all so I will wait as long as it takes
I will fight as hard as you need I will love you as much as I can because state lines in seven hour plane flights are a small price to pay for the forever I cannot wait to spend with you
so I'll find comfort in pictures of us in the hoodie that still smells like you tuck myself into the thought of how it will feel when I have you in my arms again and try to get a little more used to home being so far away
