Never too Far for Relationship

My boyfriend and I met online about a year ago.

We were dating for a good 4 months before he had to go back to New York to work there.

I live in California so we decided to break up.

However, as soon as he got there, we started talking some more and we both realized that we didn't really want to be with other people.

We were really quite comfortable with each other and we make each other happy.

So after he had settled in, we got back together and figured out how we would make the relationship work.

We both do not make that much money so flying in and out every week was out of the question.

We would save up enough money so that we can visit each other at least once every month.

The first few weeks were hard.

I yearned for his touch and kisses.

We would speak for hours on the phone, we would get on Skype every day.

He wanted to share every single waking moment of his life with me, and would text and send me picture messages on my phone.

After a while, it didn't seem as bad.

I still miss him and I still wanted to be near him, but I know that the wait is worth it.

On Valentines Day we both couldn't get off work.

He decided to send me a dozen roses, and we got on Skype and both watched a movie and ate at the same time.

That was our first official Skype date. Technology is a very big help in our relationship.

A few times he had shown up at work without telling me that he was flying in.

I would be having a bad day at work and it would all melt away as soon as I see his loving face.

He makes me feel beautiful and like there is no one else in the world for him.

He is also a musician and had recorded some songs about me.

He is not shy about how he feels for me. We have decided that we are moving in together in 2 months.
