LDR

 From Malika TV (sent this to R)

I never understood long-distance relationships or how people could live without their loved one nearby. I used to think love was something that thrived on touch, seeing each other every day, on sharing meals, laughter, and the ordinary little moments that make life feel full. I didn't understand how anyone could endure the aching absence, the quiet of nights spent alone, the longing that stretches across cities, countries, or even continents. To me, love without presence seemed like a puzzle missing its most important pieces.

Then I fell in love, and everything I thought I knew about connection, about intimacy, and about longing was turned upside down. Suddenly, distance became more than just a measurement of space -- it became a teacher, a challenge, a reminder of how strong the bond between two hearts can truly be. I realized that love isn't only about physical closeness. Love is in the patience of waiting for a message, in the joy of hearing a familiar voice over a call, in the small gestures that bridge the miles -- a late-night text, a shared song, a picture that says "I'm thinking of you." Love is about carrying someone in your heart so fully that the emptiness of their absence becomes almost bearable, because you know they are carrying you in theirs.

And through all the waiting, through all the moments of longing and doubt, I came to understand a truth I had never grasped before: "To love means to know how to wait, even when the distance feels like eternity."

It's a love that grows stronger in patience, deeper in longing, and more resilient with every mile that separates you. It is not easy. It is not always joyful. But it is real, profound, and unforgettable -- proof that true love doesn't need proximity; it only needs devotion, trust, and the courage to wait.

I never understood

long-distance relationships or

how people can live without

their loved one nearby.

Then I fell in love, and this is

my conclusion:

"To love means to know how

to wait, even when the

distance feels like eternity."
