We communicated solely through words. For the first two years-we typed words for hours… Occasionally we wrote words on paper, and sent it off to the other side of the world-but every day, we typed. Our conversations were endless, we shared, laughed, loved even more-we also grew frustrated…

He'd call me occasionally-which was always a delicious treat. I'd sit, giddy-listening to his voice. Hiding in my closet so I could talk to him properly… Our conversations on the phone weren't as successful-he says something, all I hear is accent…he repeats… I apologize. He says forget it, I say sorry again and we sit, and say 'soo…..' over and over.
It wasn't until after we met in person that we were able to show ourselves on webcam. Needing the comfort of each others voices and real life movement. Typing became a thing of the past, like talking to a computer instead of your love… Typing made the distance grow. So we talked, sometimes we just breathed… We'd fall asleep with the webcams set up-so we could sleep 'together'.
…I found some love letters that I sent him-while I was still in school. To say that our love has changed since then would be an understatement. We were just puppies then… and sure-while we are still young, we get judged based on our age… But he's my best friend-and our love can only grow stronger with the day.

More than five years of talking, through different mediums-we still find it hard to go to sleep at night, too busy talking, catching up, sharing thoughts and ideas. Our conversations endless…
My love Thursday? Our endless conversations, our strong communication, our ability to just…talk…for hours. Sharing my world with him, together, and through our words.

what a lovely post. i have been fortunate and unfortunate in love. i have had two loves, unfortunately my husband of many years, the father of my four children died very young. many years later i was reunited with my first love who i had not seen in over 30 years. we have been together now five years. never never underestimate how important that person is to you. every morning wake up and think of how you love him.
