my name is christina and this is becca, the drop dead gorgeous girl in this picture. see her smile? isn’t it perfect? her teeth and lips look so great right? i must be really lucky, right? i know. believe me, i know.
she lives in boston, i live in buffalo. 442 miles away from each other, but we make it work. we actually met on tumblr in december. she had been following me and i went through my followers one day and saw her icon and i HAD to talk to her. i was literally drawn to her. at the time she was in a relationship and so was i. the person she was dating was abusive and cheated on her. even though i really liked her at first, i just wanted her to get out of the relationship she was in. eventually she did and i was really proud of her. i am proud of her. i like to think i helped her get out of it, but maybe she did it for herself. anyway, not too long after they broke up becca and i started dating.
since then, i have flown to see her twice in the past four months. and she will be on a train coming to buffalo on august 15th.
we are two 17 year old girls that live across the country from each other. but the love we have for each other is what keeps us together.
distance is really so difficult. i hate it so much. but every day her and i spend apart just brings us closer to when we can be together every day for the rest of our lives.
before i met becca, i really thought i knew what love was. i thought i had it all with my ex boyfriend. i was so wrong. she has taught me so much about love, i can’t even explain.
what i’ve learned is that love can be found when you least expect it. who knew i would find love through tumblr? i never thought so. making this account was one of the best things i’ve ever done and i am so fucking grateful for this website. tumblr saved me. becca saved me and continues to do so every single day.
love is the feeling i get when her and i kiss. love is the way our heart beats go together. love is smiling whenever her and i talk. love is missing her every second of every day, even when we are together. love is the pain and suffering we both go through by being apart. love is the determination her and i have to make our relationship work. love is the way my eyes open wide when i stare into hers. love is the connection i feel when our fingers are laced together. love is the tears that roll down my face whenever we have to say good bye. love is the emptiness i feel for weeks afterwards. love is her being on my mind all day long. love is when the highlight of my day is hearing her voice. love is the feeling i get in my stomach when i hear her laugh and see her smile. love is caring about another person to the point where it hurts. believe me, it hurts. love is wanting what is best for her. love is wanting to be there for her through everything. love is talking about our future together, because i know we have a great one ahead of us. love is overcoming the distance. love is ignoring the miles. love is the connection her and i have.
i’ll never find anything else like it.
i love you rebecca. i really, really do.
