Day 555 - Away

I want to go somewhere,
Just you and I,
A place where no one knows our names.
Where we can roam free,
No responsibility,
Except to enjoy each other's presence,
And watch the world unfold around us.

Day 554 - When I See You Again

A smile will grow on my face,
Uncontrollably wide and bright,
Arms will reach out for you,
Pulling you in so tight,
There may be tears filled with joy,
With people watching, but that's alright.
I'll kiss your lips like I always do,
Short and sweet, with just a little bite,
We'll let laughter lead us on our way,
Passion renewed as we turn out the light.

Day 552 - I Choose You

I choose you. Always.
I choose you because you understand me,
You make me happy, in ways I never imagined anyone could.
I'm so in love with all that you are and all that you make me,
I couldn't ask for anything more.
I cherish the gifts you bring to my life,
Laughter, sensuality, companionship, beauty and unconditional love.
I adore your thoughtfulness, playfulness and strong will.
I want to explore life with you, open our minds to new things,
Bringing us closer and closer together emotionally and physically,
But leaving room for us to grow as individuals.
I am committed to celebrating wins with you,
While working together to untangle our worst.
Like a precious flower, I will water you everyday,
Raining down kisses and hugs and only kind words,
Ensuring this love will never wither and die.
We will walk the road of love side by side, hand in hand,
Smoothing out the rocky bumps, one moment at a time.
I choose you. Forever. 

Day 550 - Love, Technologically

Without technology, this could go all wrong.
It's how we've built something so loving and strong,

There is Whatsapp texting a live feed all day,
Qik videos to share fun times while we're away.
Where would we be without sharing links on Facebook?
Pictures of life and everything we've ever cooked.
You enjoy sending me surveys of love and videos of Ellen's funny faces,
I send you motivational stories and dreams of Earthporn places.
Of course Spotify allows us to share in our musical tastes,
As we show each other daily, the growing size of our waists.
Instagram is the place where we can try to be artsy,
Seeking out "likes" for #Irish green and #nature in Tennessee.
Then there were the days when we played Trivia Crack,
But I think I got bored beating you with my "round one attacks."
Weekends and nights we stare at our pretty selves on Skype,
Except when playing Candy Crush, then it's just swipe, swipe, swipe.
And then we have Blogger, a site full of words and praises for thee,
Where I can express my love 100 times daily, if I ever so please.

Day 549 - Feeling Loved

Even without your daily touch,
I feel your love everyday.
A kind "How was your sleep?"

A "I thought of you today."
A "I dreamed of you last night."
A "I miss you so much."
A "I wish you can be here to hold me."

A smiling "Hey babe!" everyday. 

Day 546 - Three Years

I could tell you weren't an angel, from the angle, I was watching from.
You cursed so loud, drinking big gulps down, of coke and whiskey.
It's wasn't a treat, being in my seat, just watching cigarettes burn down.
You called me out, I wanted to shout, "Go fuck yourself."
I held it in, because there's something about sin that's so damn sexy.

I was a newly free man, with no real plans, until we walked outside that night.
It was time to take a chance, learn to dance, between a new girl's feet.
I kissed your lips, it was like taking a sip, of the sweetest tasting wine.
Your body so warm and tight, it just felt right, so I tangled it all up in mine.

Now here we are, still miles apart, from where we want to be.
Love and trust, are more powerful than lust, when it comes to you and me.
I pray for the day, I can see your face, every time I wake from a sleep.
I'm not sure from where you fell, but you're my angel now and I wouldn't want it any other way.

Day 543 - Rare

You're a rare breed,
A specimen few will find,
Running wild and free.

Day 542 - It's Our Reality

It's not a telephone ring,
But it sounds like singing,
The way Skype pings.

I know what's waiting for me,
Just click on the green,
A pretty face there to see.

I send her kisses from my lips,
On her bed she always sits,
Entertaining me with her wit.

We share thoughts of our days,
Who did what to start the melee,
Listening mostly to every word we say,

Sometimes we sit in silent time,
Acting as if we are mimes,
Playing games, seems like such a crime.

We have only hours to talk,
No hand in hand walks,
At the mercy of the clock.

I know I'll see you in flesh soon,
Until then, we'll continue to swoon,
Making our love shine bright as the moon. 

Day 541 - One Day

The clock ticks,
All we can do is wait.
Patience fills our bodies,
But does little to fill the void.
I reach for you every night,
Hands fill with emptiness.
We lack the human touch,
Emotional eruptions and sparks.
I miss the little moments,
Sharing in each other's joy.
I promise one day we will have it all,
Kisses in the morning, I love you at night.  

Day 540 - It's Simple

You usher happiness in to my life every day,
Placing smiles on my face,
Filling my soul with laughter
And beating my heart with love.

Day 535 - Defining Long Distance Love

I am not sure who wrote this, but it echoes so true about our long distance love.

Long distance relationship aren’t always ideal. In fact, they’re really tough. You spend countless of hours just talking through a phone or through a screen. You can’t see the person when you want to, or when you most need them. You can’t hug, you can’t hold hands, you can’t kiss. You lose the intimacy in a physical sense, but then, your relationship becomes based on each other and nothing else.

You learn to communicate,because a long-distance relationship without communication it's nothing.

You learn to trust, because you can’t always see or know everything the person is doing.

You learn to sacrifice, because someone’s always going to lose a bit of sleep from the time difference.

And lastly, you learn to appreciate.

So often, we take for granted the people and relationships in our lives because we think they’ll always be there, but when you only have a limited amount of time with a person, you learn to appreciate and cherish every single moment you have with them.

When you finally see that person after weeks or months of seeing them only through a computer screen, it is one of the greatest feelings in the world. When you’ve waited for something so long and you finally have it, you cherish it. 

The key to a long-distance relationship is faith. If both of you are not willing to give up, if both of you are willing to stand up and still try after every time one of you or both of you fall.

“Distance isn’t for the fearful, it’s for the bold." It’s for those who are willing to spend a lot of time alone in exchange for the little time with the one they love. It’s for knowing a good thing when they see it, even if they don’t see it nearly enough.

Day 530 - Bless

Bless you,
Bless me,
Bless us,
Bless those we love,
Throughout our life.
