A while ago I submitted a story about my boyfriend and I’s long distance relationship titled “love is no distance.”

I say that Love < Distance because it’s the reason our relationship ended. At first he told me the reason he ended it was because he didn’t feel the same way anymore; which hurt so much. A couple months passed and we started seeing new people at the same time, both our new relationships ended a month later. A few days ago we were on Facebook IMing each other. We talked about our dating failures and we both felt like giving up on dating all together. Then I mentioned that a friend of mine that lives in Virginia Beach had a crush on me, and that if I ever went to visit I would surprise him with a date. He asked “like the candy?” and I said “no, like a date date.” I told him I didn’t know anyone who liked me and he said he had a confession. He confessed that his feelings for me never went away. I simply “lived too far away to see.” The only reason he said he didn’t love me anymore was so that I would move on; he even got his friend to lie to me as well saying he found someone new. He did all this just so I would have to move on and find someone new. It was painful to find out that he still cares after all this time; we haven’t seen each other in 1+ years and if I were given the opportunity to see him now, I would burst into tears. I miss him so much. “Time can heal a broken heart, but time can also break a waiting heart.”
I have the utmost respect for every couple in a long-term, long distance relationship. Whether it be 100 miles or halfway around the world; you guys are amazing. I envy and revere your strength and patience when it comes to waiting. I wish we had what you guys have.
