SINCE there's no help, come let us kiss and part;
Nay, I have done, you get no more of me,
And I am glad, yea glad with all my heart
That thus so cleanly I myself can free;
Shake hands forever, cancel all our vows,
And when we meet at any time again,
Be it not seen in either of our brows
That we one jot of former love retain.
Now at the last gasp of Love's latest breath,
When, his pulse failing, Passion speechless lies,
When Faith is kneeling by his bed of death,
And Innocence is closing up his eyes,
Now if thou wouldst, when all have given him over,
From death to life thou mightst him yet recover.
Michael Drayton (1563-1631)

I really understand about the distance thing. I do believe that most relationships need feeding, tending, care on a regular basis. Unless you have a very firm foundation of that built up over years, then it could easily disipate with time. It would anyway, but if your reserves aren't full to start with... You get me?
Darlin', at this time in your life you are embarking on a new path, and if the person who's meant to be sharing that with you isn't there... it's hard to try to keep her with you on that path.
Oh sigh. I do wish I could be there. I'm a little love-starved, despite appearances. Not starved! I have much loving in my life, but you know... just one person to share a little Speshal Lurve with, that would be nice.

Have a lovely weekend honey. I'm sending hugs and kisses and naughty wandering hands from afar.
