My heart does this thing where just the thought of you fills it so full with gratitude that the overflow of it comes out as tears. And while it's mainly gratitude and happiness to have you in my life, part of it is missing you with all of me. Because it's hard to be apart from someone that makes you that happy even with miles between. To not be able to show you my love through touch, sometimes it kills me. But I'll wait until I see you again and then those tears can be nothing but joyful. The tug in my heart is never fun but it's a clear indication that you're something special and worth every second of the wait. So in a couple months I'll be way up in the sky knowing I'll be in your arms in a little bit. No one wants to do long distance. I swore I'd never be able to. I thought I wouldn't be strong enough. I guess I had to grow up a little and meet the right person to know that strength is there and only reserved for those who truly deserve it. We started this way so some may say that makes it a little easier and it did in the beginning. But it also makes everything in this relationship, like all of the touches, so much more meaningful. The small things are huge. We crave them more than the big things. Yeah we still want the big things and maybe we'll do them every once in a while, but nothing is better than being in your arms. Because after being so far apart, having no space in between us with you still being you is the exactly what makes me one of the luckiest people alive.
