“The worst part about distance is that you dont really know what they are thinking. Does he think about me as much as I think about him? Does he stop whatever he is doing when my name pops up on his phone? Does he look at the pictures I sent him and think about us meeting each other for the first time? Does he lay in bed late at night and wonder what it would be like if I was there beside him? Does he ever wonder what it would be like to have a serious relationship with one another? Does he listen to music that relates to our situation? Because Im guilty of all these questions. They always are on my mind. I just wonder if they are ever on his¦?”
