Story time on evolution from love “the feeling” to love “the action”

I think this is what love feels like.

My boyfriend is in another country right now and he’s having a really hard time at work. I can’t sleep because all I keep thinking about is how badly I wish I could just be there with him.

Not even to fix anything. I just want to sit next to him, hug him, make him food, tell him it’s going to be okay.

It’s such a helpless feeling when someone you love is struggling and all you can do is text or call them. I didn’t realize how much physical presence matters until now. Sometimes you just want to hold the person you love and take some of the stress away for them.

I used to think love was butterflies and excitement, but honestly I think love is this. Losing sleep because someone else is hurting. Wanting to carry some of their pain even when you can’t.

Long distance is so hard during moments like this 🙁
