T
his number goes through my brain constantly.... 415 miles. That's how far away my girlfriend is from me.
Oddly enough, we lived REALLY close to each other for a good portion of our lives. With the same interests, we probably even bumped into each other here or there and never even realized it. But for now, she is 415 miles away.
We talk every day, sometimes several times a day. One the phone, in emails, in pms, whiteboard messages, gifts... just about anything we can do to try to make the distance go away. "I just wish I could hold you, I just wish I could kiss you," is my hourly mantra. 415 miles...
Simply put, she is amazing. She's so funny, so beautiful, so caring, so intelligent, so... everything. And it's not crazy infatuation- I know she's not perfect, nobody is. She is however perfect for me, everything I've ever dreamed of and more, and I tell her so every day. 415 miles...
With our work schedules, visits have been laborously impossible. We were going to meet last week, and then a major emergency (literally, a real one, she works at a hospital) made it impossible for her to come down. My current lack of transportation means that to get there by bus or train would not only take a half a day, but would also cost far too much money both ways to make the trip plausible right now. It pains me that I can't go to her, that I have to put all that pressure on her to come to me. Yesterday she got out early, and I was planning on trying to convince her to be bad, to come down, even for just the day, the night... and before I could, something happened and she in fact didn't get out early, and made it home even later than normal. 415 miles....
I love her with all my heart, all my spirit. I also know that this distance is only temporary... with the new year ,she will be "coming home"- back to PA, living in Philadelphia, working here, and we will be together every day. We will be together for the rest of our lives- a fact that makes both of us incredibly happy. I couldn't ask for more... except to ask that it would happen sooner, but really, having waited this long for happiness, I can wait another 60 days. 415 miles....
Edit: So, yeah... still loving, still waiting... It's not 415 miles anymore... but it's still not here. It's not 60 days anymore, but the new date is definite, and it's all I think about.
Another Edit: Still waiting, still loving... still hoping. Those sixty days just won't end... Happy anniversary baby, I love you more than words.

  | Posted Nov 12th, 2008 at 8:53PM 60 days can seem like an eternity in your kind of situation, yet it will pass before you know it! Your story makes me happy for you, Drumsong. I wish you and your lucky lady all the happiness in the world:)   |
 | Posted Nov 12th, 2008 at 9:27PM Thank oy. Yes, it's all at once and incredibly long, and incredibly short period of time.... so long to go without that contact, and so short to finish what I must complete to make it happen. Paradox, yet again. And the change is coming... but I'm afraid I might have lost sight of some of my humor in the process. |
 | Posted Nov 12th, 2008 at 10:15PM 415 miles , yes somedays it feels like it might as well be 4150000 miles. I cannot wait to spend forever with this man, kissing him, holding him . And yes doing all the every day simple things. Laundry, cooking, shopping , sitting together and watching movies. We try to at least watch something together once a week , while we are on the phone : ) 60 days baby, 60 days. We can make it !! I love this man more than ANYTHING or ANYONE. I will be counting not just the days but the minutes till I am in his arms . I LOVE YOU baby more than words. |
| Posted Nov 13th, 2008 at 9:56AM Ah, you must be his lady:) With so much negativity in the world, stories like yours really make me smile:) True love is such a wonderful thing, and I am so glad you two have found it together!! +2 nods |
| Posted Nov 13th, 2008 at 9:58AM Yeah ,she doesn't let it show or anything does she? ::LOL:: I'm so incredibly lucky to have her in my life, literally not an hour goes by that I don't think about her, think about what we have, and thank the universe for it. +2 nods |
 | Posted Nov 14th, 2008 at 12:03AM I love listening to the two of you....it makes my heart sing.... |
 | Posted Nov 14th, 2008 at 1:24AM You know DS, wolves are very romantic. That's what all the howling is about - romantic wolf verse long distance, by moonlight. So we can relate to the way you and your angel sound out your good vibes for each other. The artifacts Time and Distance are no more for awhile. In time distance will be no more. Be well. |
 | Posted Nov 14th, 2008 at 11:54AM Y'know.... you guys are making it really hard for me to want to bust your chops and be cynical. These 60 (58?) days better go fast so I can say things like HAHA he's not as handsome in person is he? You didn't know he touched up his photos. Ahhh, you never noticed her mole before, did you? But noooo.... instead I can't do anything but feel your wanting and wish you all the happiness in the world. You are both so beautiful. |
| Posted Nov 14th, 2008 at 9:10PM Thank you guys... yeah,I'm incredibly lucky to have such a woman. Even if all her photos are fake, it really doesn't matter to me... course, since they're not, i'm even happier! ::LOL:: |
 | Posted Dec 23rd, 2008 at 7:15PM 60 days seems like nothing i've got 3 years to wait :( i hope everything works out. she sounds great :D |
