Your love is based on trust. You take each other’s word that infidelity will not break you. You commit to each other alone; weekly Skype dates, daily messages, no thoughts of anyone else. You are honest when you feel each other beginning to fall apart, fall for someone else, slip into unfaithful thoughts, unholy desires. You would rather speak the truth immediately and begin to sew your hearts back together than to find yourself tangled up in someone else’s bed, yearning for love, hunting for passion. You know that this love. And your love. That your trust is above all else, and nothing can shatter your connection.
Your love sees the positive. You count down the days until you will finally see each other again, until you can leap into his arms, until you can shower him with affection. You know that you will reunite as if you had never left, as if time stood still for months on end, waiting for him, waiting for you. You learn to weather the distance and wade through the storms together, your presence intangible but undeniably powerful as you lean on each other. You recognize, above all else, that distance hasn’t broken you, and nothing in the universe can.
