have you ever loved someone from a distance? have you ever been separated from a loved one? what was the hardest thing that you had to bear with every single day? what was the thing you missed most? the smile...the laughter...the chores you'd do together...the petty squabbles...that pout...that wink...those silly i love yous...the children's laughter

i decided to make this thread for all those couples who had to be physically separated; not by choice, but by necessity. for all those who miss their parents, their kids, their partners. i know it's not easy, but then again...nothing ever is.

loneliness will always be your companion; everywhere you look it'll always be there to remind you of your state of being. some people can hack it, some people can't. they say it's just a state of mind, but i know it easier said than done. you won't know it unless it hits you right smack in the face. and then you can only mutter, 'ganito pala ang feeling'...haaaay

pero everything happens for a reason; most of the time nga lang it may seem unclear to you. i'm almost certain that the lows you're feeling right now are also the things that your loved one is bearing.

so try to cheer up, no use feeling blue.give yourself a pat on the back because you deserve it; for holding on...for hanging on...for simply being there for each other. maybe it won't be long or maybe it's gonna take a little more time; who knows.

but i guess what matters is, you have something to look forward to. and that in itself, makes the wait worth it.

i just wanted to share the lyrics of a song very dear to me. in case you're not familiar with the song, just immerse yourself in the lyrics. it's enough to take that heavy feeling away...


You Are There

In the evening
When the kettle's on for tea
An old familiar feeling's settles over me
And it's your face I see
And I believe that you are there

In a garden
When I topped to touch a rose
And feel the petal soft and sweet against my nose
I smile and I suppose
That somehow maybe you are there

When I'm dreaming
And I find myself awake without a warning
Then I rub my eyes and fantasize
And all at once I realise

It's morning
And my fantasy is fading like a distant star at dawn
My dearest dream is gone
I often think there's just one thing to do
Pretend that dream is true
And tell myself that you are there


thanks for reading guys. :)

Just in time to read this post. Really nice song, really good post. It seems that everything you write or say has as much meaning to me than other posts do. Right on target!

Sure had a taste of this loneliness per se. Sure had been loving someone so distant. But as you've said "is it worth the waiting?" Maybe. Maybe is a very big word though.....maybe not, maybe yes....

Well I found the answer....I have learned the moral of this thing called separation....of being so far away from someone you love....

Truly it's easier said than done. But in this crazy world every question has an answer.....hope you find one.....cause I found mine...:)

regards!

true! i agree! there are just some things for which we just really have to wait! at a certain point & to a certain extent, both of you has to sacrifice for each other's sake! & i believe that sacrifice will fortify...deepen...y our feelings for each other!

as what i've put in my other post...time & distance are unimportant between two people who truly care for each other!

patience is a virtue! & good things come to those who wait! :)

Chris Rock, Nice song, heartwarming....:O

Dati kase halos 6 months kameng hanareteru ng koibito ko ( na Danasang ko na ngayon:) )
, alam mo everyday is like a trial para samen, pero we truly LOve each other kaya nakayanan namen yung 1 year na yun thru Email, phonecalls, snailmail, cards, pictures, chat at Prayer,True Love at Trust .... sobrang mahirap at malungkot syempre pero pag may willingness at guidance ni Lord , lahat masuSurpass yan.
