Dear Boyfriend,
I wish I hadn’t gotten so used to seeing you every day. As soon as I was used to our summer routine, the fall air was rolling in, which meant that we both would need to head back to school and also away from each other. The "goodbyes" and the old "see you soon" gestures get a little easier, since we both are now in the routine of adjusting to school life, but it’s that point in the beginning of the semester where I start to miss the little things at home. Of course, along with my family and my favorite bagel shop, you’re at the top of this list. Yes, we make it work and do see each other once in a while, but it doesn’t change the fact that I miss you.
I miss you. It’s as simple as that. I miss being able to drive to your house at any time, day or night. I miss seeing you every day and knowing that when I said goodnight, it wouldn’t be for weeks at a time and that you would be at my door at 10 o’clock ready for our new adventure. I miss being able to escape life for a moment and it only being the two of us. Most of all I miss being careless, the feeling of being able to have no worries and knowing that you were there right next to me. Gosh, do I miss you.
But school comes first, you and I both know that. Our hectic schedules are a top priority and as much as we hate it, our relationship, us, has to take the back seat to that. While I can do it most of the time, there are days when it’s hard. There are nights when phone calls make it hurt more, because you are away. There are times when the Facetimes and Skype calls are not enough, because I can’t touch your face or hold your hand. There are days where I’ve had it and just want to talk to you, but you’re in class or at work and it's always a “bad time” to call. Sometimes, I just need a hug from you, but I know that it’s going to have to wait. I also know that the same is true for you.
Even though I miss you, I am so proud of you. And you know that even though I can’t be with you always, you have my support. You know that I am your biggest fan who will be there whenever you feel like giving up or are stressed beyond belief. We don’t need to be together all the time to know that we care for each other and support the other. Every time you tell me about the A you received on the paper that took you all night to write, I get a huge smile on my face knowing you and focusing hard on your work. I smile even bigger hearing about the adventures that you and your friends go on and the crazy stories from your campus. I love hearing about your life and want you to live it to the fullest.
Yes, I miss you, but I am okay, even when you can't reach me on my phone or can't make it up here for the weekend. I'll see you soon boyfriend.
Sincerely,
Your Girlfriend.
