When two hearts are really meant for each other, no distance in relationship is too far, no time is too long, and no other love could break them apart. Distance means so little when someone means so much. Give all of your trust and faith to that person if you know that your trust will not be betrayed and your faith is not wasted.
This is my story, the story of a man miles and miles away from his loved one. I and my girlfriend live from separate world, different time, at a different place. Dawn in here, dusk in there. It is funny though. When you get jealous I just smile, because you're cute. We often fought for something so little, like what to eat-if it is nutritious, when I catch a cold, you act like my mother that reprimands me. I'm happy because you care for me. You're my first love, you're the only one that makes this heart beats meaningful. Every day of my life, every hour, I think of you. Whenever I think of you I feel butterflies in my tummy. Awkward is it? I guess it's just made for that reason that when I think of you it'll just tickles my whole body. I'm so happy with you, around you, because you are my all in all.
It was December then, our tenth anniversary. I tried to put up a date for us. So I came to Canada to meet her. She came with her stunning looks, gorgeous eyes, and with her favourite skirt. She sat down in front of me, smile, and I was startled with those charming lips that makes me unable to say a thing. I asked her what she wants, she did not answer me. She told me that anything will do. Then I said to my mind, "I don't know what she likes, what if I picked one and she doesn't like it or she's allergic to that food." I feel sweat rushing down my face. Then she wipe up my face and said, "I would eat anything if it is from you, go now, I'm hungry." She told that to me just to test me, if what is my next move. Then I've decided to go and order anything I want. After ordering the food, she told me that there's no man in their place like me. She says I'm a warm-hearted person, kind, caring, loving, and have more characteristics that she loves. I smiled at her. Then, this word of "I LOVE YOU" just came out of my lips. She chuckled and said I LOVE YOU back to me. I hold her hands and ask her if she's serious about me, she says yes, and admit that I am her first boyfriend. She has many suitors in her school, but look, I am the one whom she picked to be her boyfriend. And that time, I thought that we're really meant for each other. That time, I don't think of anything else. I just want to be with her as long as there is tomorrow.
A week later, it was my flight back to Philippines. I told her the night before the flight that she has to go to the park. Because I stayed nearby, I asked her to go because there's something I want to say to her. And that snowy night we met at the park. I came close to her, and hugged her. "I'm going to miss you when I go back to Philippines" "me too, a lot" she said. I said that be strong whenever I'm not with her. She hugged me tighter, looked at me, and suddenly kissed me. It was the most wonderful time of my life. It was like the time stopped, the whole world stopped. I held her hands, kissed them and her forehead. And I said, "I will love you always, I want to wake up next to you, eat breakfast with you, get changed with you, play computer games with you, watching movies with you in bed, hold your hand and watch television, send you cute texts, buy you gifts, nap together, wear my comfy hood when you're cold, look into your eyes, be with you at sunrise and sunset, cook for you, walk in the rain with you, fall asleep whilst on the phone to you, snuggle in bed, mess up my hair, and kiss me goodnight. "
Then after that we kissed goodbye. The day of my flight has come. I text her I'm leaving, that she should always be at the safe side, sleep early, and don't forget to pray. She replied, "Yes I will, you too, keep safe, message me if you have arrived there okay? ILOVE YOU baby." I smiled and walked through the door towards the plane. After several hours, there was breaking news that a plane going to Philippines has crashed and no known survivor has survived. She stumbled and cried, while holding my picture close to her heart. Then her best friend messaged her. Your boyfriend says before he took off to look at your hood's pocket, he said there's something in there. She searched for her hoodie and found the letter. It's for her that I put there when she was hugging me tight. The message says that, "Ask your father for his blessings, I'm dropping by tonight to say that I'm going to marry you. Message me or call me if what is your answer about this. I'll be waiting, I love you baby!" She wiped off her tears and rushed to his father's office, but before she asked her father she saw him smiling. And before she speaks her father speaks first, "he already told me about this, when and where is the wedding? Is your dress prepared for the ceremony? You know darling, it breaks my heart knowing that you're going to be married, but sometimes in life you have to let go isn't it? Go, and meet him, he's waiting at the house." She drove as fast as she can. Hurried inside the house and shocked seeing me kneeling, then I asked her "will you marry me" She hugged me while crying, I hugged her too and put the ring on her finger.
We are now married and living a full life, happy with each other and blessed with two children. This proves me that distance doesn't matter as long as you believe in one another, love makes all things possible. Just make it slow, go with the flow, and God will direct you to the right person that really belongs to you. Life may have hardships, up's and down's are inevitable, just cling on to God, always pray. And this is a tip from me. I don't know if this suits your relationships but try to understand each other in a wider way. Give and take because life isn't like Romeo and Juliet. This isn't a movie. You are not Cinderella or Prince Charming. Give some space, but not too much because the gap might break you apart. Talk about everything, plan for a better future. Be optimistic. Don't rush things. Being matured is not measured in what age you are now, or what physical aspect you have. It is how you think, how you rationalize things in a right manner, and how to behave yourself. Change for the better, think a million times not just once. :)
