P and I do not live in the same country. Heck, we’re about 7,290 miles away from each other! That far, huh? With this minor problem between us, we try to do our best to make us feel as if we are together. I know I’ve said this over and over again, but humor me on this one. With the advent of technology, we do feel as if we’re together, sans the hugging, the kissing, and the dot dot dot… LMAO. But despite that, we still paddle along just fine.
Sometimes, it’s a bit depressing to be away from him, but I cannot complain much. I need to be here and tie up some loose ends before going back to the Philippines for a long visit. Despite our distance, I have never heard P complain as much as I thought he would. True, he still wants me to come and stay with him but he understands my reason for being away from him.
Some people may not understand why this is so but for reasons I cannot disclose, we have chosen to be in this situation. This doesn’t mean that we like it but we think that if we give up a few years, we could have a better future together. I believe that sacrificing a short part of our lives together would benefit us both and our family.
We don’t really see being apart as a negative but as a chance to grow into better and mature individuals. I guess you could say that we are a bit prepared to withstand future trials because we have learned to live apart and part of each other. I don’t know if I’m making sense or not but that is how I see it.
I remember the song Somewhere Out There from the animated film An American Tail and I think it fits our situation. Ironically, we are both grumbling about the rain since it raining on both our parts of the world. We are indeed under the same sky!
