Blessings, they say they come in disguise. I have found this to be true. While having you thousands of miles away from me I am still the happiest I have ever been because of even having you. I have found immense happiness with you.
Being in a long distance relationship has taught me to, as the cliché says, “find happiness in the little things”. Before being with you, many things were taken for granted on my part. Things have changed since then. Each kiss feels like the first. Your hugs fill my entire self with warmth and the reassurance that you will never let me go, even if you have to physically.
We learned to be children again together while also growing to adults and starting our lives. Stress of school, work, or money simply dissolves when I hear your voice on my phone. We discuss marriage and having a family after we finish a game of “Would You Rather”. We build a big comfy bed of mattresses and pillows downstairs and wait for everyone to go to bed so we can eat snacks and watch movies.
I never take any text, phone call, or video call with you for granted. I cherish each part of our relationship, the parts that many couples wouldn’t care to think twice about. We don’t need big adventures or even expensive gifts to fill our hearts full of bliss. We just need each other. Whether that be together in person or away through the phone. With you, I am incredibly happy.
