.Distance.

Here’s something that’s been said a million times before … Long Distance Relationships are hard. Even amongst friends, but with a lover, it can be excruciating, especially during times of duress. You need to be held by them, and they aren’t here to hold you -wrapping their arms around your body making you feel protected. They want to feel your kisses, and experience peace by your soothing touch – but your reach doesn’t extend that far.  The reassurance you receive from seeing love in someone’s eyes is something that is constantly missing when you are physically far apart. If there is a conflict – it is easy to just stop speaking completely because hopping a plane constantly to force them to speak to you is not a realistic option. The physical distance can create oceans of distance between two hearts and possibly a lifetime of wonder… What if one of us moved? What if I did fly there and scream, cry all my feelings out instead of just sitting away in the silence? Sometimes things happen for a reason…Sometimes things happen because it’s the easier way out. We all have an active part in shaping our destiny. As much as I believe in Astrology and fate — I really do feel not everything is predetermined and written out for us. Cliche or not – with great risks come great rewards.

I will always follow my heart…even if my heart belongs to a person half-way around the world or just a few minutes away…Just don’t keep me waiting here too long and take a chance ;)

Death Cab For Cutie – Transatlanticism (mp3)

The Atlantic was born today and I’ll tell you how
The clouds above opened up and let it out

I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere
When the water filled every hole
And thousands upon thousands made an ocean
Making islands where no island should go
Oh, no

Most people were overjoyed; they took to their boats
I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat
The rhythm of my footsteps crossing flatlands to your door
Have been silenced forevermore
The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row
It seems farther than ever before
Oh, no

I need you so much closer

So come on, come on

“There are always two choices. Two paths to take. One is easy. And its only reward is that it’s easy…”

“Of course we all have our limits, but how can you possibly find your boundaries unless you explore as far and as wide as you possibly can? I would rather fail in an attempt at something new and uncharted than safely succeed in a repeat of something I have done.”– A.E. Hotchner
