Our Hearts are Close, even if we are 600 Miles Apart.

"Vanilla Twilight", Owl City
The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere

'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly
But I'll miss your arms around me
I'd send a postcard to you, dear
'Cause I wish you were here

I'll watch the night turn light-blue
But it's not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly

The silence isn't so bad
'Til I look at my hands and feel sad
'Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly

I'll find repose in new ways
Though I haven't slept in two days
'Cause cold nostalgia
Chills me to the bone

But drenched in vanilla twilight
I'll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because
When I think of you I don't feel so alone

I don't feel so alone, I don't feel so alone

As many times as I blink
I'll think of you tonight
I'll think of you tonight

When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again

And I'll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won't forget you
Oh, if my voice could reach
Back through the past
I'd whisper in your ear
Oh darling, I wish you were here

Long-distance relationships can be a hard. With no means of communication besides phone calls, text messaging, and internet chat sites such as myspace and facebook, it can be a bit harder to help these kind of relationships grow. This song I just quoted could be applied to this type of situation -- a long-distance relationship, which is the type of dating relationship I am in currently. And it's hard. But I can honestly say that I would not wan to be with anyone else. This song helps me a lot when I feel alone -- it brings back the image of Austin (my girlfriend's) face, her voice, her laughter, and as the song so excellently puts it, it makes me feel "not so alone". So, if you are in a long-distance relationship, let this blog entry be an encouragement. Work at it. Anything you work hard at will work out in the end, no matter how hard or difficult your relationship is now. I'd also recommend checking this song out. <3
