~~Long Distance Relationships~~

Write me a story about long distance relationships. It can be personal, or totally fiction. It doesn't matter. Just make it good. Put feeling into it-make me feel the pain these people are in because they are away from each other.

Yeah, yeah. So what if I'm depressed? My boyfriend and I live two hours away. Laugh if you want; I know that's not very far apart. But to me, an inch from him is too far-I love him that much. I never want to let him go. And it breaks my heart every time he walks away from me, just to go back home, to his school and job.

RULES~~

`don't make them break up at the end of the story, or if they do, make them get back together. Make the long distance relationship work out! (If you are writing 'personal', and it doesn't, then just write that in your notes and I'll make an exception)
`make it good
`optional: if 5 or more people put "Always and Forever", along with their most romantic fav movie in their notes, I'll add more points!!!!

  4. I love him in the way that he is abstract. I love him in the way that he is a mystery, that he is a two dimensional face, that he is a soft voice at midnight. I love him in the way that his frozen smile makes my heart twitch.

  5. I watch her brightly colored umbrella bob up and down slowly as she walks away, not once looking back. Well, at least as far as I can see.

    I have something I've written on the subject matter (going on two years in November) but it's really only a paragraph (about 200 words) and is highly metaphorical. Would it be acceptable to enter?

      It would have been fine. I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner; but I haven't been on SW for awhile, and didn't even know my contest was over. Lol!
