Had this exact issue today with my Girlfriend in Dipolog.
Get on the webcam and see their face and that confirms the feelings, its nice to see the facial reactions, eg i had some clothes as gifts for her family members and seeing her reactions today, its as close to being there as possible, sight, touch and hearing -all those senses fulfilled, now if someone can invent a " touch meter" i will be really happy!!
Personally i think absence does make the heart grow fonder if its real love that you feel.
