21,735km apart.
Being in a long distance relationship isn’t easy - but to me; it is perfect in every single way. I’m trying to stay strong for you baby, because I know that I will see you soon; and I can’t wait to be in your arms your summer next year.
Because love is worth the distance ♥
So, my boyfriend and I met two years ago through a mutual friend. I was bored out of my mind, and I decided that I was going to get to know someone new. At this time, we were both freshly in a new relationship and happy. We got close enough to call each other brother and sister, and then him & his girl broke up. He told me how much he had always loved me, and how much he always would, no matter how I decided to live my life. Then, him and his girl got back together, and we lost contact for a few months because I was bewildered and hurt. I mean, come on, he said he loved me and then he TOOK IT BACK? [I should probably mention that we were apart distance wise and she was there with him, which probably had a lot to do with it.]
He went to college this year, and then he found out his girl was lying to him… about everything. They broke up about a month before he decided he wanted to try again with me, and I broke up with my boyfriend.
It worked out perfectly, and the distance isn’t anything but a number. He loves me more than anything, and everything was forgiven from the past.
I’d add a quote here from him, but I’m not ready to give that up yet. I don’t want everyone realizing how awesome my boyfriend is. :3
I love you, darling.
So very much.
“no, caitlin, i really don’t want another boyfriend” She said with emphasis. “Yeah I know but come on, he’s the third guy to ask you out! I’ve never seen you like this, you always want a boyfriend” Caitlin was honestly surprised it had already been 2 weeks since her best friend Sophia had broken up with her last boyfriend, by now she’d usually be on the rebound, but Sophia was persistent on staying single, Caitlin genuinely felt sorry for the poor boys she’d been leading on.
A few days later Sophia had stepped foot out of the shower and walked to her bedroom in a towel, to get a glimpse at all of her brothers friends playing video games. One boy however, was new, she haden’t noticed him, but he noticed her. It was as if time had slowed down so he could see her through that small door frame, he smiled, anticipating the moment she’d come back, “who was she, he wondered?”
Sophia came out drying her hair with a towel wearing her pajamas, when suddenly she saw him. He turned away from talking to her friend brandon and there eyes met. She stared at his smile for what felt like hours, she was dumbfounded “who is he?” she wondered. As she collected herself from the puddle that she had just been reduced to, she did some self evaluation… no makeup, ugly clothes… hair not even close to attractive, she ran back to her room to get dressed.
She returned, conveniently a seat next to him on the couch was empty. “Hi, I’m Cameron” He was even more beautiful than she remembered, the light fell into his deep green eyes like drops of poison, his freshly tan skin and black hair melted her right back to the puddle she was in only moments ago, she couldn’t speak. “Are you Kevin’s sister” he asked, his voice was soft and genuine, “she spat out, “yeah, I’m Sophia” she shook his hand with charming awkwardness that for some reason has been able to win boys over, she never quite understood it, but it always made them laugh, as it made him laugh. So they laughed together, he liked her laugh, it was sweet, gentle, he decided that she was very adorable. Her big brown eyes looked up at him with nothing but sweet innocence, her smile was strong and elegant, there was just something so special about her, he didn’t know what. The entire time he was there, she and him joked and chatted, learning as much as they could about each other in this short period of time. He was falling for her, she didn’t know what to do.
That whole week they spent every moment possible together, going to concerts, and just hanging out, however, they were never alone. She had just gotten out of a long term relationship, he lived 8 hours away. He was too stupid to realize she liked him, she was too stubborn to go for him, the whole week his was down they tip toed around there very real, very strong feelings, and refused to kiss, until the last day.
It was a hot summer day at Rapids water park, they had already been on several rides, He needed to rest. So they took a ride on the lazy river. Sophia and Cameron shared an inner tube, this was the closest they’d gotten all week. Her mind went crazy, trying to convince herself that it would be ok to kiss him, she remembered that he bought her water earlier, that he touched her thigh last night, and… suddenly… he kissed her head. She went spiraling, this was the first time a boy had ever made her go this crazy to find out if he liked her, she looked up. He smiled, staring into her big puppy dog eyes, that he’d grown to adore this past week “Why can’t you just tell me you like me, and make my life a whole lot easier” he thought to himself. “This girl is amazing.” he still wasnt kissing her, she thought maybe… just maybe if she kissed him on the cheek. she did.
He looked at her, finally, a sign and kissed her. The kind of kiss that makes you believe in every love song, every cheesy movie, every poem and romance novel, true loves first. She pulled away, wide eyed, but more in shock than lovingly, she didn’t know what to do, so she laid her head back down on the tube, and continued floating. They floated like a single leaf sometime after that in silence, sweet silence, not awkward. and continued the day as if nothing happened.
That night it was time to leave, he held her in his arms for what felt like hours, all the inside jokes and laughs meant nothing anymore, he was going to leave, and she would have to forget all about him. But as he pulled away from that hug, he grabbed her dainty shoulders and look into her puppy dogs eyes one last time “I’ll come back.” he said softly, allowed the words to float, she smiled, holding back tears, “you better.”
They spent the next week in constant contact with each other sending photos and messages, but when he returned she didn’t understand why. Last time she tried a long distance relationship he dragged her along for 2 months, then when they finally agreed to try it, he broke up with her 3 days later, what person is crazy enough to do long distance?
They went on their first real date, ice skating. they kissed in her car, they kissed in her driveway they kissed as much as they could. She’d never felt anything like it, whenever He’d kiss her, it was like the breath was being ripped out of her chest, her knees weakened, and she just wanted to be closer to him. She wanted nothing else in the world but to kiss him, forever. He asked her to be his girlfriend, and that was the begining of the rest of her life
this is my story :)
We went to high school together. He always, always tried to get me to hang out with him and I always had an excuse not to. I was just too nervous to…. Now, I wish I had. He went into the Army right after we graduated from high school. We started writing letters in January, the year after we graduated. He was still in boot camp then, and even though I had never ever even talked to this boy in person, I felt beyond comfortable writing to him. We started dating in April, while he was home on leave. He is now in Alaska, and I’m in Maine. We are 4744 miles from each other, and almost 81 hours. I’ve never ever been in love like this, I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with him.
I was at my family reunion and his family showed up. Turns out his family is close to mine. His dad wsa roomates with my uncle in college. I was 6, he was the same age, almost 7. We were childhood friends
Crushes developed, but nothing ever really happened, because we live in different states and did not get to see eachother very much.
But now, 10 years later, we are discovering how much we really love eachother, and are working it out.
I’ve known him for so long, he is not only someone I love so much, he is an amazing friend.
I love him more than I will ever love anyone. There will come a day where we will not have to say goodbye <3
So, He already knew that i was moving. I lived in Williamsburg„ and he only saw me one night.. and he was like “your cute!” So i texted him asking where my (ex) boyfriend was. He said that he didn’t know, but he wanted to talk to me. So he told me my (ex) boyfriends been cheating on me, and he isn’t faithful. I believed him, because i gave my (ex) boyfriend a second chance„ and he screwed that up. So ANDREW, the one that told me the truth about everything, asked me out. Now i was confused, because i was moving, but i said yes on July 12th 2010. I’m so glad that i said yes. I am so happy with him. So after 5 days, i moved to Dumfries, and he’s from Manassas.:) So We are still in a long distance, because he hasn’t moved back yet. But we text everyday, call each other at nine, and he makes me feel so special. I always smile, because i know i have him in my life.. no matter how many miles we are apart, hes always going to be closest to my heart. :)
I love you Andrew
I’ve been in a ldr for 3years and counting. We both live in England but he lives in Hull, i in Exeter during uni, but my real home is in the channel islands. We’re both so young (20&21) and i’ve tried many a time to tear myself away from him telling myself i shouldn’t be waiting for the next time i get to see him, i should be out there having fun. But he makes me laugh & is the sweetest most loyal guy i know. He knows i’ve been messed around in the past. He puts up with my rants. He treats me so well. Yet i always feel like i’m falling apart. This summer he met my family. I owe so much to my parents as they paid for someone they didn’t even know to spend 3 weeks in their house, two for which we got to spend alone. Simply for me, to make me happy. Their acceptance of my ldr gives me so much hope. Hope that i need to pull me through til we can be together more often than a few weeks a year. Hold on tight.

We only live 2 hours apart, which may not seem so bad compared to some relationships, and I understand. However, being young and without a car, it’s really hard to see each other often. Not to mention his parents refuse to bring him to see me :/ 11 months though, we’ve made it this far and we can make it longer. I love this boy more then anything, and I don’t ever want to let go. <3
submit! :)
she went away to university in September, i started working 10 hours a day and all i can do is think about her! live 2.5 hours away from her:( wish i could see her everyday again! love her so much! Nicole you’re amazing! <3
