You've been gone for three weeks now
And you call every day
A letter falls through the mail slot
And for a while, my pain goes away
You tell me that you love me
At three-thirty A.M.
But as soon as you hang up the phone
My eyes fill with tears again
And I know you mean it
And I know you care
But this long-distance longing is so hard
Because you're never there
The weeks have turned into a year
And we're still loitering in love
You call, and you write, text, IM
And for a little while, it's enough
I need to see your face now
Or I might just forget
The boy who made my heart stop
With every word he ever said
I can see us walking around,
Holding hands, hugging, maybe a kiss
But I can't see that happening now
So I'll have to be content with this
Long-distant longing
But I know you care
But being in love is always so hard
When he's never there

yea... I can relate... took me several tries before I just gave up on the whole long distance dating thing altogether. You always think it'll work out, and then life complicates things. I'm unstable... I move around a lot. Finding a place where I can call home should be easy, but it's not for me. So I've given up on the whole dating thing. I'm awesome tho.
I love your writing =)

WOW
I can so relate to this. My love was half way around the world for a few years and it was so hard. Three week visits a year was never enough. Hang in there. Thank you for entering and good luck. Hugs~ Cuddles
