Maybe I've gotten used to not seeing you. In fact, if we can only stay in this stage of missing each other, I probably didn't love you very much. That's because love needs communication, words, understanding, support, and companionship to continue.

Only face-to-face, in person, can I truly recognize your strengths and understand your shortcomings. And even then, to still love you—that is true and real love.

If one day my love for you fades, please don't blame me. It's because you've only made me accustomed to missing you, not accustomed to truly loving you.

Thank you for reading!
