And hey sweetie, Well I need you here tonight, And I know that you don't wanna be leaving me Yeah, you want it, but I can't help it, I just feel complete when you're by my side. - If It Means A Lot To You, A Day To Remember
For the record, long distance relationships are not for the emotionally needy. It takes a lot, especially when you take in the fact that you both have your own lives to live. This means no phone calls every night on the dot, no texting each other constantly throughout the day, and sometimes days with just a single text, if you get one at all. This means accepting the fact that he's busy with college, and that he can't be at your beck-and-call. Not that you would ever require that of him. That would just be too needy.
No, it means appreciating a good thing when you see it, even if you don't see it nearly enough. It means that you relish every moment of communication you have with him, because something about this boy just makes your heart go crazy. It means being supportive of him, because he's aiming for a good life and if working hard is what it takes, then so be it. If you lose out a little on the communication end, it doesn't matter. You want him to have a good life. You want him to be happy. You love him and he loves you, and you can take pride in knowing that when he does talk to you, it's because he wants to, not because you're forcing him to. So far you've been lucky enough that he tries to have a conversation with you most nights, but some nights he's overwhelmed with schoolwork, and you understand that schoolwork comes before the girlfriend.
You deal with it, because you know you'd rather have him, even if it means long distance, over any other guy down the street.
pshh. wish my last girl had the same attitude you have. She just never could understand.
I've tried long distance before and it is very difficult. I think I'm too emotionally needy (and touchy-feely) for one to actually work for a long period of time. Luckily my gf now lives right in town! =D
@PsychedelicBreakfast - I think the same thing about myself. I don't know how much longer I can stand doing the LDR thing.
I love this post.
Completely agree. :) And I can't even text my guy because he lives in a different country, but that doesn't stop us from loving each other.
