“Distance makes the heart grows fonder..” they say..
I say, Depends.
Not if the partner does not shows effort to communicate. Because, in the distance, the only way to make sure that you both are not far apart and still loving and remembering each other is by constantly communicating. Comes what may, but you will still be checking up on each other. As we aren’t living in the ice age anymore.
There’s facebook, there’s email, there’s whatsapp, there’s viber, there’s skype, there’s phone; sms or calling is just 1 click away. So, whats stopping you? Unless, for one reason: YOU DONT FEEL THE URGE THAT YOU HAVE TO. or simply; YOU DONT WANT TO.
Action speaks louder than words! Abide by the time zone differences, you would stays awake til late, just to make sure your timing suits each other. You wait from the day your other half’s flight flew and gone away to their destination. Then, You wait for the announcement of their arrival.
You wait for their call.
Atleast, an sms.
You wait another day, for the other half to text you with his or her new number. You wait for a facebook text. You wait for an email. You wait for Skype video call. You wait.. and You wait.
Wait.
Wait….
And still waiting…
BUT, on the other hand, the person does NOT makes an effort to do so. You will receives none. Leaving you feeling frustrated. Mad and ignored. Left out. Unwanted. Not needed. Being taken for granted. And that You waiting.. unappreciated!
The gap of not communicating will succumbs under the excuses and millions reasons. A proverb said, “when there’s a will, there’s always a way.” In this case, that person certainly do not want to keep contacting you frequently. Just accept the fact that, the person didnt even care about you waiting, dont even see the needs to spend atleast 2hrs of their 24hrs with whatever-stands-by-their-side at that distance further from you. Clearly highlighting; “If you want to, theres a million ways to do. If you don’t want it at all, theres a gazillion reasons to not.”
Well again, Distance; It does not, makes the heart grows fonder. It encourages hatredness. Negativity. Less and less of romance. Deduced feeling of love. Letting bygones be bygones. Unable to talk about what angered you because of the lack of communication.
All in all, you ends with a wounded heart, scarred and dead.
