Today I learned the power of love. Today, I finally saw its face. The frailty, hope, wonder, doubt, belief, and simplicity of it all stared back at me. For once, the idea of holding some thought, emotion, or feeling in was out of the question. I don’t think you can understand how it feels to be in a long distance relationship unless you are in one. It’s a battle like none other and it’ll make you go nearly insane. But when you find that one person who totally encapsulates every ounce of your future you’ll stop at nothing to be with him. That’s what makes it worth it all. You’ll miss him like nothing you’ve ever missed before, your insides will twist and squeeze you tight until you think you can’t breathe, you’ll notice where he’s missing in every aspect of your day but that single moment of reuniting, touching, holding, embracing again, that’s what makes it worth the ache. Today I finally let go of questioning and fearing that this beautiful bond I’ve been given will somehow never last. I’m learning to hope again, to trust fully in the one man who lights up my world and gives me the strength to get through each day. I believe, and for the first time in my life, I can actually say I mean it.
