Hmm, what to make of this piece.

Perhaps it is one of the interesting things of being in a relationship with someone that there are times when, even when you are far away from them, you are comforted by the soul fact that someone in this world loves you and can lean on you for support, even if it isn't physically. There are times when you feel like you really are both in the same room and could almost laugh for joy.

Sadly though, there have been days when you really do feel like you're far away from that person you care about. In which, I mean physically. Suddenly, you find yourself in a room by yourself and can imagine being there and holding that person so tightly but you realise you can't. You could say/type these things, but somehow, they just could not replace the soul-feeling of holding that person and saying "it'll be ok".

It is, I suppose, a catch that comes with keeping a relationship over long distances. When times when I feel that, if I had the power, I would be over there now, helping that special person and just being there. I may not be the provider of all the answers, but it would make all the difference to just be there.

When you love someone, I guess it is only natural to want to be there for every bend and curve on the rollercoaster that is life. It is hard sometimes to hear from your boyfriend or girlfriend about how things are going bad and you just want to be there to either be that shoulder to cry on, try to help give support, or else be able to just hold that person.

Love is a very strange thing.
