Far Away

Someone once said, ~Missing someone gets easier everyday because even though you are one day further from the last time you saw them, you are one day closer to the next time you will.~ When it comes to matters of the heart, each of us have someone that we miss whose absence, whether its long term or temporary, leaves you feeling in all intensive purposes bummed out, unless the person you love/care about is right there by your side. In any case, its not so much the distance or length of time that you can have you genuinely missing someone, but rather the moments that have been considered absolutely enjoyable, which has kept you smiling both inside and out as you eagerly anticipate to be in his or her company once again.

Without a doubt, it can be a tough situation indeed for any person who is in a significant relationship to be separated from a loved one who they miss dearly, especially if he or she is serving in the military overseas. One can go through experiencing emotions such as sadness, fear, and worry because you never know if there will be a knock at the door and be given the news you didn't want to hear, which is something nobody in a significant relationship should focus on because it makes the pain of missing that person even greater. For its just a matter of focusing on the positive as you have the mindset that he or she will not only be seen again, but also if you hold him or her close in both your thoughts and heart, they're never really gone.

If you think about it, it's easy for those who are in significant relationships to admit they miss their other half because of the strong connection/bond established with each other. With that said, can a person have the right to miss someone who one has only known off and on for a certain length of time? It's hard to say as it primarily depends on both the type of relationship you share and the connection you have with him or her that may possibly have that person reciprocating that same sentiment back towards you. Although it may not be a connection that is strongly shared, it's a connection nonetheless in which it has enough wiggle room to let it grow by itself in certain aspects of the relationship to where the bond between you and that person gradually becomes tighter.

Let me ask you this question for those of you in a relationship, if you or your significant other were to live apart for a certain period of time what would you miss about that person? The reason I ask is that when it comes to relationships being able to describe from within your heart as to what you most miss about the one you love/care about, excluding the physical features of him or her, can give a person insight as to how much one truly pays attention to the things that may seem trivial, insignificant and/or even annoying, but in reality it means so much in the whole scheme of things. Here is a simple challenge: go ask your significant other what he or she would most honestly miss about you if you were to spend time apart for a while, then do the same for that person, and see for yourself what you find out.

In retrospect, whatever type of relationship you're in, missing someone who is miles or oceans apart and being able to see that person again is the best feeling in the world to ever experience. What it comes down to is patience as each day brings you closer to seeing that certain someone to the point where you're able to see him or her for the first time every time, which makes a strong relationship last. Personally speaking, I miss being around someone as the times spent with her have been enjoyable, which I hope to experience again if opportunities present themselves and when it comes to the valid reasons for why I miss her, I'm just going to keep that to myself. In the end, someone who is far away is always close by if you always have him or her in both your thoughts and heart, which is a song by the band Nickelback that is dedicated to anyone who has someone they miss.
