They say it's not for the fearful, It's really for the bold.
You have to be willing to live alone; not be held when it's cold.
To spend a ton of time apart, for a small amount together.
To know your relationship can handle whatever kind of weather.
To pray each night the other's safe and happy where they are.
To wait to get a letter or call. It's been so long since "au revoir".
"i carry your heart with me. i carry it in my heart.
i am never without it..." No matter how far apart.
Almost every night, I see you in my dreams.
It makes me happier when I awake, it seems.
Whenever you call and I get to hear your voice,
I get an unstoppable smile. I don't have a choice.
So even though the distance always holds us apart,
know that you'll always still be in my heart.
And whenever you feel a warm breeze hit your face,
Know it was me blowing you a kiss from this place.
And even though everyday I more for you yearn,
the days grow shorter till when you return.
So for now I press on and wait for that day
And know that when it gets here we will be okay.
"And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation."
--Khalil Gibran
"Love is missing someone whenever you're apart, but somehow feeling warm inside because you're close in heart."
--Kay Knudsen
"To truly love something, you must first give it a chance to fail.
If it survives, it is going to be stronger than ever.
Distance is pure proof of this, and forever we will love if we survive."
--Unknown
"Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it."
--Thomas Fuller
"Absence is to love as wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small and kindles the great."
--Roger de Bussy-Rabutin
