To all the long distance couples out there

By Me

How the heck do you do it?
How? hOW? hOw?
When the boy first got his job offers in farawaystates, I thought it would be a grand thing.
To spend time away before we got married. Kind of like an extended bachellorette party.
I don't know what i thought it would be. I know i did have some sort of idea of spending time with myself
("Spending time with yourself? oh you mean, sp-end-ing time with y-o-ur-self?"
No, no, no sicko! Just quality time with oneself, enriching the soul. Maybe reading more. going for walks. finding out more about myself.
"UH-Huh. You are going to watch TV the whole day, eh?"
Maybe. But it will be for my own edification. Ass. )

Then the boy moved.
And after 5 months, the boy and I are stuck in an existential rut. I am not sure if it is really an existential rut. But terming it that makes me feel better.
It is such a cycle of despair, yearning, overpowering love, overpowering madness and so much more.
Our week always start out great,
"Oh I love you so much. "
"Me too."
"So what are you doing today?"
"Missing you"
"Aw My God. I love you so much."

Day 2.
"Hi, What are you up to?"
"Nothing much. I was watching Steve Irwin. Remember how you forced me to watch him everytime?"
"Yeah...I love you."etc etc

Day 3.
"Hey, how come you didn't call me in the evening?"
"I did."
"Uh-huh"
"No. I did. We were all out playing pool and you know I called you from the bar. "
"Yeah ok."
"I love you"
"yEAH. gRUNLKLoVEYOUTOO."

Day 4.
2 voicemails later.
"I haven't heard from you the whole day. Are you mad?"
"No. nO. I AM NOT. WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I AM MAD?"
"Because you sound it."
"Oh NO. NO. I AM NOT MAD. WHY WOULD I BE MAD AT SOMEBODY WHO THINKS A CALL FROM A NOISY BAR WILL DO FOR HIS GIRLFRIEND?."
"God. I am sorry"
"SURE.SURE. SURE. IT STARTS OUT WITH FORGETING TO CALL ONE EVENING. THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW, YOU FORGET TO CALL FOR A WEEK. AND THEN AFTER THAT, IT'S ALL DOWNHILL."
"Will you freaking let go?"

Day 5.
"What?"
"Nothing. I just wanted to make sure you are ok."
"I am ok."
"Yeah. because you were kind of mad yesterday."
"I am ok."
"Ok. Because I was talking to girlwhohasbetterhairthani yesterday and she was telling me that since we are apart, we both need to be extra attentive to each other"
"Really?"
"Yeah. You know. She's not as bad as you think she is."
"ReAAaally?"
"Yeah. And have you seen her hair? I don't know what she uses. But lord, it shines."
"Well if you like her so much, why don't you just marry her, you cheating ass!"
"What? What?"

Day 6.
Phone rings. send to voicemail.
Phone rings again. Sent to voicemail.

Day 7.
"God I missed you so much."
"Me too."
"Lets never fight."
"Yeah. lets"
"You know, baby, there is no other baby than you, baby?"
"Yeah. I know. I love you so much."
"I love you too. what are you up to now?"
"Missing you."
"Aw God. I love you so much."

And round and round we go.
Reading back. Maybe it's not so much we but I that have the overpowering madness. Uhm...
