it is really, really tough being so far apart from the one you love. and yes the 24/7 communication over the phone, internet, texts etc seem to ease the longing, loneliness and emptiness of not having him/her next to you. once you put the phone down, the same feelings will overcome and will dawn on you he/she is still not next to you.
why do we do it???one simple answer for me...i found the personwho i love and will complete me for the rest of my life...
