After all, you know your person isn’t going anywhere.
You know they aren’t going to do anything sketchy while you’re away.
You know they’re going to be right there when you get back.

You should feel comfortable spending a weekend apart.
You should have your own separate lives.
Even though you realize the distance isnt going to kill you, itisgoing to hurt you.
When you love someone, spending a long time apart from them sucks.
A text or video call just doesnt cut it.
Its not enough to see them on a screen.
You want them physically there with you.
You want to be able to lean your head on their shoulder.
You want to be able to reach across the couch for their hand.
You want to be able to turn your head and see them next to you.
When you love someone, you get used to having them around.
They become part of your routine.
They become your best friend.
No one else could take their place, no one else could ever substitute.
Youre so used to having them around that youll assume theyre in the room.
Youll find yourself saying things likeweanduseven when youre alone because youre used to living life as a team.
Usually you eat together.
Usually you watch TV together.
Usually you fall asleep together.
Without them around, you have to figure out a brand new routine.
You have to change almost every aspect of your life because, without them, everything changes.
When you love someone, missing them is more than an emotional pain.
You have a physical reaction to being apart from them.
You love them so much you become sick when they are away for too long.
You have the most fun when theyre in the room with you.
Games are more exciting.
After all, you know your person isnt going anywhere.
You know they arent going to do anything sketchy while youre away.
You know theyre going to be right there when you get back.
You know your love can withstand anything, even distance.
