Long Distance Relationships | Crossing Over? Indian Style!

Being a huge Twilight fan has nothing to do with me posting this video clip. I am totally in love with the lyrics of this song! As soon as I heard them for the first time memories of my long distance relationship with ?S? came rushing back to me.

Long distance relationships are hard, they demand a higher level of commitment (in a way), not to mention Trust.?Putting the fact that we were so different culturally aside, being in a long distance relationship sucked no matter what. We were apart from each other months at a time and could meet for a day or two once every 2-4 months? It was pure hell but we had it easier than others out there.

Communication was again the key to keeping us both sane. We were committed to keep in constant contact throughout the day, he would give me a good morning call ? a 5min call that I treasured more than anything. We would then text during the day, chat online after work and he would call me at night until we fell asleep. This is how it was for us until we would meet face to face.

If for some reason this means of contact was broken, say for example we had to go out with friends, it would change things? we felt the distance between us more than before. We would miss each other terribly, I had never missed anyone that much in my entire life. There were times when we would disagree and the pain and fear this would bring each time was almost unbearable. It wouldn?t be such a big drama if we were closer but the fact that we were apart and couldn?t speak face to face or give each other a hug made it all the more difficult.

Most of our disagreements back then were due to the fact that we couldn?t agree on which one of us should make the move to live closer to the other and the great matter of me being so important to him and yet being a deep dark secret that he guarded with his life from his family.

I remember writing him a poem describing my loneliness and it had a profound effect on him. We were both feeling the same way. We both had the same fears? would he get sick of me and waiting and leave me and vice versa?

When I heard the song above and the words ?One Step Closer??are being sung, I think this is exactly how it felt every day. As each day passed, I was one step closer to seeing him and one step close to being with him permanently.

I?ll never forget the first time he came to see me?

I was in the car with a friend of mine, we were driving to the airport which was an hour away from where I lived. I found it so surreal that here I was in a car headed toward the airport and he was already in the air on a plane down to see me???One Step Closer?

We reached the airport, it was practically deserted or so it felt like. We couldn?t see anyone around! Definitely not what you would expect from an airport but I did live in the middle of nowhere . We made our way to the big windows and waited? it felt like the longest wait of my life and with each minute that passed, I felt the butterflies in my tummy getting stronger and started to shake with nervousness and anticipation? Looking up to the sky, I noticed a bright light in open air? I wondered if that was the light from the plane? after a few mins the light got bigger and a few minutes after that, took on the form of a plane? his plane.

I watched what felt like in slow motion the plane come closer and land? by this stage I was jumping with excitement! The plane stops almost in front of where we were and I see the passengers step out of the plane, we start to make our way to the front of the entrance to meet him? again, I felt as though I was waiting for ever? watching everyone else came out but him? and then? I saw him! He looked up at me and smiled and looked down again as he continued to make his way to us. Gosh I missed him! He looked so handsome and I couldn?t believe that he had gotten on a plane and flew over to the country just to see ME

We gave each other a hug? no kisses in public!

After that we travelled backwards and forwards to see each other but as always, the first times we never forget! I felt like the luckiest woman on earth? after enduring so much heartache to have this person who was willing to do whatever it took to stay with me was just? amazing. We treasured our meet ups because we didn?t have them often. Time went by so quickly when we were together.

Long distance relationships don?t always work out but they are worth every tear, every stress, every disagreement, every bit of effort. I?m not sure why I posted this but I couldn?t stop thinking about it and just had to share this special moment in our lives with you.
