Distant Love

Previously written thoughts from my head as I lay in bed…

Distance is a number to calculate unconditional true and pure love…
I lay in the bed and I think about you
I love you so much that I don't know what to do
Wanting to feel you by my side
The pain that I feel in my chest moves up to my eyes
You're so far away but always so near
You are the only reason I still reside here.

Excited for the times when we can talk
Ecstatic for all the times we can hold hands, kiss, hug or just go for a walk
To feel you in real life...so close to me 
The happiest woman in the world is what you make me.

Your eyes shine bright like the morning sun
You don't believe it but to me you shine brighter than anyone
A smile so sweet that it instantly makes me smile
It manages to quiet my mind for just a while
I patiently wait for the next time when my hand is in yours
To feel your touch and hear you say those three little beautiful words.

Even after all this time, there are still no words I can say to describe
How "see you later" makes my heart ache and my eyes cry
But when we talk my heart flutters and flies
You always manage to erase the tears I cry.

You are my stars and you are my moon
I believe that being with you forever will come very soon
When we are apart take this to heart
No one or nothing will ever keep us apart.

National Matchmaker Day!

It’s March 23rd…and I get a text from a random number with a little dog waving gif…

I remember saying to my phone screen, “heeeey, whoever you are…” and closing the text message. Random texts were a norm…number not saved? Just delete the message and block the number. That was routine. I deviated from the routine…not sure why or how…

I never thought the man behind this cheesy message would become the love of my life because I allowed my Best Friend to play matchmaker. She seems to think she’s good at it…so today I celebrate her lol. Thanks Best Friend for re-introducing me to the love of my life…


Today honor the matchmakers who bring lovers together and share your matchmaker story if you have one! If you have the time or you’ve gone through your list of Netflix movies/shows, watch a matchmaker film such as Hitch, Sleepless in Seattle, Fiddler on the Roof, Clueless, Brimming with Love, or Hello, Dolly!
