It's hard to sleep when you know that your love is suffering a world away from you. The powerlessness to comfort them... The crushing need to just kiss them and tell them that it'll all be alright... Even if you don't believe it. I miss the closeness.

Then why be apart??
An excellent question... With a devastatingly unsatisfying answer: circumstance.
We don't always get to choose who's close, and who's far
I responded because I was in that situation once. I made things happen and moved to change the circumstances. Spent time together, the honeymoon phase was wonderful then we got to know each other and then drifted apart. No regrets.
