Kenix, one of my local friends here in SG was sharing to me how she felt when her "special" someone went back to the US yesterday. She forwarded me a poem she received by email from the guy showing how "hollow" he was with them far apart. She was asking me if long-distance relationships work and how can she be sure that nothing "else" would happen if they're far apart. She knew that I'm married and my wife was back home in the Philippines that is why she was asking for my take on long-distance relationships. I did tell her proximity plays a big part in a relationship. But I also told her my situation was totally different with hers as I made a vow in front of God and our family to stay together through thick and thin. And I also mentioned that at this time and age, someone living from another country seems nearer with the introduction of YM and Skype.
After that discussion, I felt sad. Realizing again that my wife is far from me. It felt miserable knowing that when I got home, its only the half-empty bed that will greet me with the rest of the night and the other “lonely” nights to come.
Every second without you at my side feels like an eternity. Slowly echoing the sorrow I feel.
The hollowness that embraces me
Lingers in me and in everything I see.
Every footstep I hear
Every wind that whispers in my ear.
Every morning that I open my eyes
Wishing that you are at my side.
To my partner-for-life, My bestfriend, My everything. My wife...I miss you soo much...
