01 - Longing

When you love someone,

you carry them with you no matter how far away they are. 

It's in the vacant room next to me, the thoughts that cross my mind late at night, and the small things that unexpectedly bring you to mind. Missing you is more than just a notion; it's a sensation that resides in the depths of my chest and permeates all aspect of my life.

I miss how your voice lightens everything and how your laughter fills the air. I miss the small things in life, like holding your hand, eating together, and exchanging looks that convey more than words could. Even our quiet times together seemed familiar. 

Those calm moments seem a bit too quiet now.

Distance is tough, but love is tougher. Every day apart is a day closer to being with you again. So until then, I’ll keep carrying you with me in every thought, in every heartbeat, in every wish made on a lonely night.

I miss you, always.
