“Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling in at night. The world is too quiet without you nearby.” “But I must admit, I miss you quite terribly. “Definition of a long distance relationship: Inconveniently the most effective way to find out if you really love each other.” “We are the perfect couple, we’re just not in the perfect situation.” “And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.”

To hear the immense night, still more immense without her.” “Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.” “If you truly want to be respected by people you love, you must prove to them that you can survive without them.” “When your absence is felt, your presence is the essence and it makes a difference.” The daily work of love was often hard to perform at home.”

“It seemed that we loved each other better when there were large swaths of two continents between us. Not admire it from a distance, but live right in it, under its roof.” And the most you can do is live inside that hope. “The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. “I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)” It’s for those knowing a good thing when they see it, even if they don’t see it nearly enough.” It’s for those who are willing to spend a lot of time alone in exchange for a little time with the one they love. “Distance is not for the fearful, it is for the bold. “Perseverance is not a long race it is many short races one after the other.” However, one stipulation I proclaim: hold my hand and embrace me And like the roots of a tree, support me and assist as best as you can For one day, your turn shall come and I promise I’ll be standing right by your side.“If love cannot stand the test of time, then it has failed the test of love.” I am a long way home Awoke this morning to find the stranger that stands in front of me A stranger found but never been real until the moment the brushstrokes struck clear I’ve seen a seductive vision of hunted perfection not too long ago But like a frail leaf, it twirled whirled and let the wind carry it away Now, in front of the mirror, I await the brushstrokes that’ll settle on the core of my being I wait for it to define, shape, mold and mark my soul I cannot say what will be I may weep, laugh, or curse through it all. I am no lioness or vixen who should be feared. I am not overenthusiastic, ferocious or fierce in my demeanor. Beauty is the soul that’s authenticity The essence of my soul stands in my complexity. To my friends and family, I maintain an affinity My thoughts and actions are what have made me Even during those times when despair seems to engulf me All I can offer is my loyalty. Silent tears caress the face of the sad one Empty of you, a palpable heartache, so strong it’s quite unbelievable. True identity concealed, buried beneath what cannot be. She yearns, she craves and hungers for all that should be. Unrelenting fears and insecurities, she aims to defeat. So lost deep inside, she dreams of breaking free. Searching for the one who’ll open his arms, understand, accept and bear it all. I gazed, I looked, and I stared long & hard at a girl still looking for her way home. One I thought I was familiar with but wasn't quite sure any longer. A face I've seen many times before but couldn't make sense of anymore. I woke up this morning, glanced in the mirror, and saw a face.
