I don't know where to begin except to say, it's okay. It's okay to miss that someone. It's okay to send long sappy messages, write love letters and randomly call that someone. Because anyone brave enough to endure a long distance relationship should constantly be told it's okay.
I have dated three men in my life and they all taught me something different. The first taught me how to love myself before anyone else, the second taught me how to love up close and personal, but the third taught me how to love from a distance. And I'm continuing to love him from a distance because, well, it's okay.
Whether you live five miles, or 2,000 miles from your significant other, if you don't get to see them on a daily basis, you have to learn how to continually love them, and how to continually put forth effort to remind that person that you're still in love with them. You must show unconditional commitment to that person. Yet, you must do it from a distance.
It takes time to learn how to find the balance between needing someone and wanting someone.
Needing someone is a feeling that hits either when you are at your highest of highs or lowest of lows in your life. You will feel the need to share those moments of your life with that person. Wanting someone comes in waves, either when you're very lonely, or very content and you want to share those feelings with that someone also. Finding the balance is difficult because you do not want to overwhelm the other person, but you want to tell them about every second of your day.
My advice to you is, send that text, write that letter, call that person. Chances are they want to as well, or they're waiting on you. It is important, however, that you become patient and understanding when your significant other is busy and does not reply right away. In return, they will be patient and understanding toward you, and will be more willing to randomly call or text you because, well, they miss you more than you know. My last piece of advice for you is to constantly tell yourself, when you're missing your significant other, that it is, in fact, okay.
