Face-to-face time

Let me tell you something, sister.

Distance sucks.
Because,
ya know, 
you go through this :
a serious lack of face-to-face time. 

Yes.

Your lives 

going along on parallel tracks.

You ask,  
how deep do the roots 
of this relationship go?
Deep enough 
to sustain your spirit 
during the days and weeks of separation?


Glad you asked.
Long distance can be bliss.
Only if you are a quintessential romantic:

The urgency of every second together.
 Because they all count.
Elation rushes in 
as each kiss is savored, 
every touch cherished.
Reality divinely air-brushed
and memories pristinely sealed—
set aside to be deliciously revisited later.

Yes sister.
If a relationship can survire long distance
more than one year, 
it can survive almost anything.

 So there's a  certain peace with this reality.
 You can feel him being on the other side, 
thinking of you, being in love with you. 

And frankly,
this is all you could ask for....
