Distance

"No matter how far we are, miles, oceans, seas, I'll always love you, and only you."
I'm quiet after that, closing my eyes to remember the image of him. Tall lanky figure, coffee brown eyes that sparkle with determination, his chocolate brown hair that I just want to run my hands through, his dazzling smile of pearly whites. His sleek unique style I absolutely adore.
I smile to myself, acknowledging how lucky I am to be with a guy like him.
"I love you West, forever and always," I say.
Through the phone, I hear the sound of a bed creaking, then the sounds of footsteps. I hear a latch open and a loud gust of wind. I smile. I knew West was gazing up at the stars above him. The same stars that I will see in a few hours. He always said it connected us in a way.
"Forever and always," he whispers. "forever and always."
