Why is love intensified by absence?

[kuyabog]

---

I am not sure if it is only me. The love of my life is away and far, and it seems the longing is magnified a thousand times. Although we have constant communication, but the absence introduced a kind of feeling that life is lacking, that a breath is not enough to sustain life... and the tears simply fall as I recall those precious moments we shared and treasured.

Mailove...

When will I see you again?
When will we share precious moments?
Will I have to wait forever?
Or will I have to suffer and cry the whole night through?

It's the longing of the person is what fuels the love you have for the person who isn't there with you physically. However don't nurture this kind of feeling because it's not healthy too to be yearning for
someone the whole time.

Keep yourself busy bro and let her do the same in order for you guys to grow individually... Gain new experiences from other peeps for a change that way you'll have something new to share with your partner the next time you guys chat online.

This will avoid you from being bored. And we all know that idle minds stir conflicts between two parties who are in a long distance relationship.

As the adage would have it, too much missing can be too sickening in the end

yes.. it will be intensified.. but.. time will come, maanad ka na wala xa...

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, as they say. If you have strong feelings for a person who is far away it is only natural that you associate that with a sense of loss. That's why most long distance relationships don't work.

yes i do keep myself occupied and busy, pero i just cant help it.. i see her in everything i do...even in things i do not do..

i have been a loner, still am... she is my only world.. mao sakit kaayo ang yearning.

i thought i was strong pero dili diay.

It depends really on the person...
two things...
either intensified or it fades away...

but it is a test!

natural ra jud ni.....

[farmboy]

Absence is a simulated sense of loss

like sleep is the closest experience of death....

but LOVE...is the earthly sneak preview of HEAVEN

true love is really heaven on earth...

i don't know if LDR na imo or if one sided na, but, i do know how it feels to be yearning so much
it can even lead to depression
like having to cry almost every night over your pillow cause you know you have to move on,
remembering almost everything about him and even associating every single thing on him even if it's totally unrelated
and having to talk o your friends and interrupt them unconsciously by saying something about him
which reminds me mau ng sge kog pangaway diri sauna just to divert my attention
cause entering into that debate thingy would require me to read articles and hinder my mind from thinking of him lol

it's totally a very painful process
i even thought that if i endure the pain then it will eventually fade
or to a point that i have to keep on hurting myself until i will give up
but then it won't really work

and then seeing him happy with somebody else would give me that much jealousy until such time it made me realize that i will never be able to give him that kind of happiness...

i have to accept that it won't work
nothing can make it work

he is happy with her
he is unhappy with me
it can't be helped.

that's jut how it is
my purpose ended there

my life is not all about me
it includes letting people go and accepting defeat
and my life didn't stop there
i still have dreams to achieve with or without him

so don't be such a crybaby TS
it's not like you lost your body,
you just lost a part of you...
but you can still live
