When your satellite number
Flashes on my phone
Even at ungodly hours
It floods me with tremendous joy
A few minutes of whispering sweet nothings
Just the sound of your voice
Is all I need
To brighten my weekends
To blow my blues away
A perfect start to a Sunday
Today
As I answered the phone
With heavy lids and a soaring heart
Your husky, sleepy voice greeted tiredly
It is then that realisation
Dawned on me
Never before have I felt so guilty
And so I remorsefully concede
I’m consumed by greed
For your affection
Dear, you’re all I need
Your balancing act
Juggling work and life
Is starting to wear you out
But all I ask for is a little of your time
Am I asking for too much, love?

So well said. I love that love will overcome distances, too.
I’m miles away from the person I tell everything to, watch TV with, go to the cinema with and drive aimlessly around the countryside with on the off chance we’ll see some wildlife or something interesting…or just because we’re bored. We make each other laugh till our sides ache, we share almost a lot of the same interests and do almost everything together. A long distance relationship isn’t as hard as I thought it would be, we skype most nights or talk on Facebook…we text and call each other quite a lot and he comes to visit occasionally. And of course, uni terms aren’t that long so I’m only here for three or four months at a time before I go home for a few weeks. But it’s still difficult, and most of the time I feel completely alone. I enjoy spending time alone, I can’t be around people all the time, but sometimes it’s hard not having your best friend there for a cuddle and a chat when things aren’t great and although it sounds stupid, but watching the stupid TV shows that we both love is depressing when I’m on my own.
Joooobhiiieeee !!! :P
