Long distance is not easy.
It is not easy to watch someone through a screen instead of your eyes tracing the curves of their face while they're standing in front of you.
It's not easy to have a bad day and not be able to see one of the only people that can make it better. For something exciting to happen and not be able to celebrate about it that night.
To not be able to have brunch on Sunday morning, or make dinner plans for when you get off work, or snuggle up together on the couch for one of the nights a tv show comes on that you both love.
Sometimes you miss them so much and it's like you can't get relief from it. Sure, you plan times to see each other but some nights are bad and you need them right now and you need to touch them or you'll die and your heart has never felt so lonely.
Long distance is not easy but one day it will be worth it. One day you'll live in a cute apartment together where you can wake up next to each other and fuck each other to sleep and a see you later means see you tonight when we get off and it's time for dinner. Long distance is a choice. It's a commitment to say, "I love you more than all of the distance between us.
Its you.
And it always will be you.
It always has been you.
Your smile.
Your teeth.
Your eyes.
You.
You are the only person to ever exist to take my breath away, or make me laugh the way you do.
You get me.
You understand me sometimes more than I understand myself.
Your love over flows and sometimes I don't know what to do with it all.
But I'd never complain about that.
All I want is you.
It will be you until the oceans run dry.
It will be you until the stars burn out.
It will be you until my lungs breathe stale air.
It will be you until my eyes close for the last time.
You.
You.
You.I love You
and only you
I will do anything you want
I will let you play with my hair.
I won't complain about the almost empty milk carton in the fridge.
I will eat your cucumbers and your eggplant because you hate them.
I will watch Christmas movies with you, even though they make me sad.
I will remind you to never settle for less than you deserve.
I will love you even when I'm mad at you.
I will make you coffee in the morning and I won't expect you to talk until you've finished it.
I will remind you to take the dog to the groomer's.
I will close the closet doors.
I will decide which movie to watch.
I will make sure you play the guitar more often.
I will buy a house with you and I will take care of the decorating.
I will go hiking with you.
I will hold you and let you talk about the things that have never been said.
I will volunteer with you.
I will tell you everything I love about you until you can't find a single thing you hate about yourself.
I will marry the shit out of you.
I will be patient with you.
I will encourage you to follow your dreams.
I will sing to you.
I will distract you and help you relax when all you can think about is work.
I will trust you.
I won't argue with you when you tell me that milk is a beverage (Okay, maybe I will. Milk is not a beverage, babe.).
I will let you fall asleep on my chest.
I will dance around the kitchen with you.
I will watch hockey and rugby and I'll try to like it.
I will remind you to talk to your friends more often.
I will be honest with you.
I will raise children with you and encourage them to be like their mom, so they will grow up to be loving, kind, strong and bold.
I will travel with you.
I won't leave your side when the going gets tough, I will take your hand.I will love you, always.
And only you.
