Echoes of Absence: The Paradox of Long-Distance Love

Why is it that the words ‘I miss you’ weigh so heavily on my tongue? Do you, too, find them caught within the confines of your chest? Does the ache of absence grip you as tightly as it does me?

I yearn for you, seek you in the quiet moments, in the spaces between breaths. Yet here I sit, ensnared by thoughts of you, of us. Do you feel the void? Does it echo with loneliness, resonate with the sharp sting of solitude?

Tears cascade, a silent river, eroding the memories of your kisses, those tender imprints you left upon my soul. I need you, more than the deserts need the rain, more than the night needs the stars.

We were a single flame, burning with a shared intensity, our souls a duet of light twirling in distant cosmos. This space between us was never meant to sever what we are, to steal my heart from its rightful place beside you.

Destiny whispered of our union, a promise written in the stars. Yet now, it feels as though the universe toys with us, a cruel game of cosmic tug-of-war. You are meant for me, yet you exist somewhere beyond my reach, a cherished dream held in the hands of fate.

I miss you, with every fiber of my being, and I cannot fathom why this longing must be so complex, so fraught with silent battles and unseen tears. You are missed, deeply and irrevocably.
