absence makes the heart...

[fierygeorgia]

so he's gone and moved to new york city. and i haven't had a restful nights sleep since then. my bed feels too big. my leg touches the blanket now instead of his. and i have to close my eyes a little bit harder. i send him ridiculous text messages asking him why he isn't here with me, and then i just cry. spending every day with him for the past

it's funny what time will do to you. it flies when you're together, and slows to a crawl the minute you're apart. don't let it break you. enjoy whatever keeps you going: friends, sunshine, work, really good ice cream, skyy, whatever. make an effort to treat this day alone like you'd treat one with him: savour each moment and try not to let it pass too quickly. after all, it's the summer! it's so hard to accept that he isn't around for a while, but just imagine the years ahead... fifty? sixty? seventy? and then compare that to what could be a mesasly nine months. a small drop of darkness on the fringe of a magnificently sunny existence.

it's perspective. i know how much it blows. but it doesn't have to.

love,
