1200 miles..............


this number goes through my brain constantly.... 1200 miles. That's how far away my girlfriend is from me.

Oddly enough, we lived REALLY close to each other for a good portion of our lives. With the same interests, we probably even bumped into each other here or there and never even realized it. But for now, she is 1200 miles away.

We talk every day, sometimes several times a day. On the phone, in emails, gifts... just about anything we can do to try to make the distance go away. "I just wish I could hold you, I just wish I could be you," is my hourly mantra. 1200 miles...

Simply put, she is amazing. She's so funny, so beautiful, so caring, so intelligent, so... everything, finally sweeto. And it's not crazy infatuation- I know she's not perfect, nobody is. She is however perfect for me, everything I've ever dreamed of and more, and I tell her so every day. 1200 miles...

With our schedules, visits have been laborously impossible. We met last week, and then a major emergency (literally, a real one, have to rush for interview) made it impossible for me to spend some more times with her. My current lack of transportation means that to get there by bus or train would not only take a half a day, but would also cost far too much money both ways to make the trip plausible right now. It pains me that I can't go to her, that I have to put all that pressure on her to come to me. 1200 miles....

I love her with all my heart, all my spirit. I also know that this distance is only temporary... with of few years ,she will be "coming home"- back to me, living in Pune, working here, and we will be together every day - a fact that makes both of us incredibly happy. I couldn't ask for more... except to ask that it would happen sooner, but really, having waited this long for happiness, I can wait another 1 more year . 1200 miles....
