A long distance Love

Dear Love,

When you had first shared your feelings with me, I was quite confused how you managed to say a yes. But today, as I look back at where we were years ago and where we stand today, I realise we have done much for this relationship to work out. These days, we can’t see each other but, that’s okay love, your virtual hugs and kisses provide much warmth and I can’t definitely wait until the day they turn into real ones.

I know 430 kilometres separate us but dear, never ever forget that love is the strongest feeling and it cannot be restricted by borders. Love overcomes everything. And you see, our love will also do that one day. While I am writing this letter to you, you are constantly on my mind. Your sparkling eyes, your cute smile flashes through my mind and giving me butterflies in my stomach, and that’s what is the most beautiful thing about being in love. Isn’t it?

But these two months will be harsh for our love, for us. Unlike others we just can’t sit together and stare into each other’s eyes and spend cozy evenings, unlike others we just can’t hug and finish a fight, unlike others we can’t go on long walks holding hands and talk our hearts out. We can’t. But dear love, trust me when I look at these couples around ,I miss you and literally crave for you, your love.

Dear love, I know this distance feels like a sword in your heart but trust me this is worth it. And just tell me had things been more beautiful than this if we were together? Um, I guess not – it’s not that I will get bore of you, it is because………. Our long late night chats, our sleepy phone calls, endless video-chats, all these makes me fall for you again and again. And this is really a beautiful feeling. Ten days have passed since I last saw you, and I know that I have loved you a little more by each and every day. A little more than how much I did yesterday.

Dear love, I know we fight a lot, and sometimes arguments heat up to that level that we are ready to part our ways but pause…did we do that ever? No! This distance is a challenge because it creates communication gaps. There were times when we didn’t text or call each other for days. There were times when our ego spoke louder than our love. But we successfully managed to deal with that.

Dear Love, I know it’s natural for you to get insecure about us. It's natural for you to become “over-possessive” for me as we are miles apart but trust me, I just love the way you get jealous and frown making cute-but-angry faces on the other side of the phone whenever I tell you about  my female friends.

Now tell me had we been together, would you frown this way? No baby. There’s something very special about the bond we share, these days. The bond of being far yet so close. So next time when someone tells you that LDRs do not work out I want you to tell them it does. I want you to make them believe it does, I want you to believe it does because it really does.

And always remember, one fine day we will be together, in your city, and that day is not too far, then when you look back upon all the struggles that we have had gone through, all the tears that we have had shed, all the anxiety that we might have been filled with, will look simply mere and then, only then we will realise, it was really worth.

Your long distance love.
