The long distance numbness...

"Love", the four letter word,  the one word, that makes you feel, your heart beats become more audible, the world around us, more HD, people around you,  less audible and your cheeks held up high until it pains. It shifts everything apart and acquires the most of you and your life. It feels great to have someone around. Doesn't it?
But, what happens, when the one you love, is away from you? When they can't be with you for many reasons? If they can't meet you for months and for years? How would it make you feel? What would you do?
The prolonged wait period, for months and sometimes years, creates a large gap, a numbness, the feeling, where you actually don't feel. You hear every single noise around you, you hardly smile, there is no HD in the world around  anymore and certainly you hear your heart pounding, a little less though.

To be in a long distance is not a big deal! Thousands of couples stay in long distance and sustain, trying to keep their love fresh and as charming as ever and cherish every moment they spent together, hoping to get married one day. But is that all? Is that all about love? Getting married someday? Was that the aim? 

There are many such questions that pop up every now and then. I think you too are thinking about the same,  but all we can do, is to wait & think!

For different people, LOVE has different definitions and a different perception. For me, LOVE is about the JOURNEY, that you have together, the feelings that you share, the memories, that you create, that you might cherish sometime in your life, remembering old stories. Getting married is a MILESTONE! It's still not the destination of LOVE. We still have a long way to go after that. 

Being in a long distance relation, sometimes leaves blank spaces in our lives. Spaces like the best friend(s) you have, the most likeable person you know, the best company you can think of, the best conversation you can have with and even it can sometimes, push you to rethink on the best person who should have been by your side instead!

There are a lot more words that can be wrenched up, but that won't fill up the spaces in our lives. It's the long distance numbness that needs to be vanquished, else our lives would be just a pursuit of happiness!
