It's 6:45 a.m. My alarm isn't scheduled to go off for another 15 minutes, but my phone is buzzing on my nightstand. Grudgingly, I get out of bed and look down at my cell. "One new message," it says. So I pick it up and read my text:"Good morning! I hope you have a wonderful day! Don't worry about your exams, you're gonna be great! I miss you =) "I smile, and those 15 minutes of sleep I lost are now the last thing on my mind. They say that long-distance relationships don't last. They say it's hardest when one person is away at college. They even put bets on how long a couple will stay together after the two are forced to be apart.Yes, long-distance relationships are hard, but I'm learning that when you have something worth fighting for every struggle is worth it. My love and I had met 6years before we actually expressed our feelings for each other. I remember the day we met like it was yesterday. That first look,that awesome smile and then talking about everything and nothing at the same time & the way she made me laugh. For six years, I lived in a fairy tale. It seemed like she and I were together since a previous lifetime. We wasted away the days that we could have been together.
My acceptance letter arrived; not long after that I was shadowed by this wave of uncertainity. This wave seemed to get a hold of me & my emotions went haywire. And it all seemed like its Now or Never. Emotions are one of the most amazing gifts of the almighty. When they get a hold of you,you somehow begin to think straight. some of the biggest and the most bold decisions we take are mostly initiated by the emotions within us. So it seemed that I should tell her. But the fear of loosing her was too much to overcome. And then it happened!!..an event that brought me to a point that compelled me to think that I would never get a second chance. And in the most absurd way possible,I expressed that she meant a lot to me. The rest is just a great love story in the making.
And the days of summer seemed to get shorter and shorter as June 8th drew near. But we somehow began to realise that although there were miles that seperated us, we felt the presence of each other like we were there sitting next to each other holding hands. Its an amazing feeling I tell you. We always wondered if the distance between us would be an issue to handle. I must say it is hard, and we have a long way to go. But we are confident that there will be nothing that will ever separate us & the distance would indeed make our hearts grow fonder. <3 <3
