About the ups and down side of a long distance relationship.

You two met through a chat line or even through My Space,
two strangers reaching out to the other  hoping  for the best.
A series of phone calls or letters are exchanged between them,
forming a connection though the miles separate you and him.
(.)
Strangers become friends as the two open up and get close,
sharing things personal and private that the other don’t know.
Beautiful poetry  could be written and sent in hopes it is liked,
tearing down defenses through charisma and a lot of charm.
(.)
More time passes by and feelings are developed from the heart,
you cant wait for their next letter much less the next phone call.
When he says I love you -you say it back and mean every word.
It doesn’t matter at the times you both are still many miles apart.
(.)
You two eventually meet and the sparks fly with just a fiery kiss,
a night of passion  could have happened in a rented hotel room.
As the morning sun rises you wonder what you did without him.
but one last kiss has him boarding a bus to go back to his state.
(.)
From then on you both are like the fabled lost  ship Titanic-both
wanting to be together but are sunk because of the distance issue,
Plans are made to relocate and start a new life with the two of you,
trying to blend his life and yours to hopefully make a happy home.
(.)
Sometimes it works and the distance is not a issue to deal with now,
for you both are sleeping in in the same bed and sharing a home.
But other times it don’t work out and its best if the parties split up,
each returning to the life they had before the two of them had met.
(.)
In the end there is no regret or even remorse for what had happened,
for to admit that meant you didn’t love her or you didn’t love him either.
It just meant that a long distance relationship isn’t a easy task to pull off,
but both off you are wiser for trying it but will make better choices now.

    Excellent write my friend, you\’ve got a nice idea. Yes space is a barrier at times for two people who are in love but there are few cases that a cyberspace relationship do end up in marriage. In my own social group. http://www.xpressionlane.com two set of my members who are unknown at first, do end up in marriage.. Now one couple just gave birth to a boy and the other is 7 months pregnant.. That what I call marriage made in heaven.

    good topic…and yes the distance sometimes affect but some still make it and applaud those who even go on to marry.

    Long distance lovers are more and more frequent, it was good to express the feelings that can surround a relationship like this.

    Sometimes distance is hard but I think that it can be a good way to really get to know someone. I think that if the two are really in it, then it will work out.

    Awesome article! I met my husband online, we’ve been married for nearly 7 years now… we only lived about 90 miles away from each other when we met. Keep up the good work!
