My Dear Lover,

Long distance relationships are hard, no doubt about that.
If is a fact that the longer the relationship the less is the
doubts, the fears, the insecure, but it doesn't decrease the
loneliness, that feeling of emptiness or hollowness inside you.

I don't know about you, but to me, in these kind of days,
like the Independence day in America (in Portugal we have the
same celebration, but in another day), when everybody gets out
to celebrate, and all you see is couples together, kissing,
having real life together, celebrating, playing with their
children (it even seems to you that, there is more couples
in this kind of days, than in the other days), and you ALONE!

In these kind of days, you feel so loneliness, like if you have
a hole inside you, and all you want and need so desperate is to
be with your beloved, if only you can reach, touch your lover!!!

In this kind of day express how you are feeling, to your beloved,
let him or her know that you feel kind of "envy" for seeing
everybody together, that you really need him, open your heart!

Call your beloved if you can, instead of email or chat online.
There is something about hearing a person voice that makes
more intimate connection. (but don't cry on the phone,ok?)

Go out, with your family, your friends, celebrate, look for the
other couples together, and see you and your beloved in each of them,
look as if you are looking into your future.

Choose to be happy, you won't be apart forever.

Choose to celebrate because you are loving and you are loved,
and that is so magic.

Don't measure the distance, measure the Love, Maria Madeira.
