By Your Side

I wrote this today as just a little random thing to write because I felt like expressing some more of my deeper feelings about this LDR. Hope you enjoy. PS: Please don't steal or copy this without my permission. It's something personal that I wrote. It was a little inspired by the song, "By Your Side" by Faber Drive".

She sat on a chair on the back deck of her grey house, watching the green, lush leaves of the trees dance in the wind, the sounds of them rustling against each other in the breezes soothing her crowded mind. Up above, the sky was darkening with grey clouds, while a few puffy white ones floated by. A bird chirped in a tree somewhere to her right. A particularly strong gust of wind blew her dark brown hair around her face and lifted the pages of the notebook she was writing in.
 
She stood up off the chair, closing her notebook, and her long, white dress fluttered around her ankles. She walked forward a few steps and rested her arms on the white railings of the deck, leaning against it and gazing at the scenery around her, taking it all in.
 
This was solitude. Trees in every direction she looked. The only connection to the outside world was the main highway a few hundred yards away. No one was around besides her three cats, as her family was busy going about their lives.
 
Her thoughts drifted to a certain someone, who had dark brown hair and very intense brown eyes. As images of him made their way across her mind, she smiled.
 
He was her love. He loved her unconditionally, and she wholeheartedly returned those feelings. Thinking of his smile and laugh melted away her worries, and she knew she was not alone. He was always by her side. She closed her eyes, and it was as if he was standing there beside her, his arms wrapped around her protectively, making her feel safe.
 
She got caught up in the daydream, so when she opened her eyes reality hit her like a lightning bolt. He wasn't here. She had no idea when he would be. Despite being in a relationship with him for nearly ten months, she had never seen him smile in person or felt his touch.
 
He was 1400kms away. In a different state, in a different country. There was a border between them. It pained her to think that the only way she could see him or talk to him was through a computer screen.
 
Her sadness at missing him brought forth a new emotion: determination. No matter how many people ridiculed their relationship, no matter how much longer she had to wait to meet him, she would suffer through the pain of missing him. Because waiting this long for someone who made her feel like no one else has would be worth it when she could finally spend seven glorious days with him physically by her side.
 
She'd wait. And until then, she could only dream and pray that one day soon they could be together. Their relationship was like a rock: solid, indestructible. Nothing would tear them apart. They were both equally determined to make this work. Because that is what you do when you love someone unconditionally. You make sacrifices in order to be with them.
 
Until then, she only had her fantasies, dreams, and his spirit surrounding her. She felt him in every step, every breath, surrounding her and shielding her. Closing her eyes again, she could almost feel his lips against hers as he whispered "I love you".
