I picture the creases in your forehead, prominent from a long, tiring day.
I imagine the stubble thats poking its way through your skin, shadowing your face.
I see the gentle curve of your smile as I whisper to you.

I pretend youre next to me, kissing sweet dreams onto my mouth.
You cannot be here because life is complicated and sometimes dreams pull two bodies in different directions.
But we have accepted this chapter in our story.
To trust that we are strong enough to fight anything that tries to push us apart.
Our thoughts fill the emptiness, and our phone calls replace the quiet that we suffer alone.
And each line, each sentence, each word only writes a deeper love.
Twenty20 / @hanngho
Distance has no power when it comes to us, carries no weight.
Our love is the excitement we can feel, even through a receiver pressed to our ears.
Our love is the recaps of long days, carefully remembered, detail by detail, to share.
We can pretend we were there.
To know there are so many little things you wont get to be a part of.
Its hard to know that youll be gone on some days when I just need you here.
That I wont be able to easily get into my car and drive to you.
That some days I wont want to do this anymore, and youll feel the same.
We will because we know this is the best thing for one another, for us.
We will because weve battled so much already, weve come so far.
We will because fear is just a wedge that we wont allow to come between us.
We will until we no longer have to.
We wont let doubt destroy our love.
And we will remind one another that distance does not change the passion we have for one another.
Distance does not rule over two beings who dont want to be ruled.
We will remind one another that our love knows no bounds.
We will fight back against the world that says love isnt real, isnt strong, isnt forever.
And we will make it through.
To the days where we no longer have to be miles and cities and states and times zones apart.
To the days where we no longer have to see each others faces through a pixelated screen.
To the day where we can say, distance has no power over us.
