I miss the green scent of his cologne.
And how holding his hand makes my own feel small and delicate.
I miss the comfortable silences on long car rides, and marathon snacking sessions over movies. I miss being able to call him anytime I want to. I miss poking his nose.
I even miss arguing with him sometimes, because it would mean that we’re running at a normal pace again, instead of tiptoeing on eggshells in a long distance relationship that needs to be handled with care. When you’re thousands of miles away, there are no impulsive house visits with a boxful of pastries—just emails, Blackberry messages, and occasional video chats. I love New York and can’t bear to leave it anytime soon, but I do miss my boyfriend.
your boyfriend misses you too…
Hi Bianca,
I feel your pain in a LDR set up. I live & work here in New Jersey and i am in a 5 years of Long distance relationship too. My boyfriend also works in the airlines and i can fully understand your situation. I miss him so much too but like you i still haven’t decided to leave my career yet. Stay strong, only few LDR lasts now, i hope we will both make it
