Love Don't Know What Distance Is

Don left a few days ago after weeks of wonderful, blissful time together. It was one of the best times we spend together. We have always been a close couple. We were friends before we got together, spending (a lot of) time together comes naturally to us. I think we grew even closer after this visit. I know a few couples who can't stand being around their partners for an extended period of time. Don is my best friend. Everything we do together is double the fun! Prior to the recent visit, our last visit was five months ago. It was too long. It felt like forever! I missed him so much that the word "miss" can't justify how much I was missing and yearning for him. The weeks, he was here went by so fast, I am trying hard to remember what we did so I can reminisce them. 

It took me a whole weekend to recover from Don leaving. I was in my bed, reading and realised that, I have so much love and respect for this guy that I know we are going to be okay despite the distance. I've seen this quote floating around Pinterest, long distance blogs - Love don't know what distance is but never fully understood the meaning. If anything were to happen to us, distance won't be the main issue. The distance is just one small obstacle for us. Love don't know what distance is. I am trying not to life living towards the next visit. I organize my life around our visits and it can be stressful. I may look fine when I am hanging out with my friends, meeting clients or even watching Netflix, but at the back of my head, I am having an open discussion with myself about - When is our next visit? How am I going to fund this visit? Can I go visit him? How long? How am I going to earn when I see him? It's a daily struggle. Right now, I am going to enjoy living and love Don from the distance. This recent visit brought us closer than we ever were before and I hope our next visit will bring us even closer. 

How do you deal when your partner leaves after a visit? What do you do you after your partner leaves? Let me know in the comments below. 

Lots of love,
