We met through mutual friends many years ago when we were teenagers & when it was a really tricky time in my life-but we became true friends in May of 2009 when we exchanged contacts online through MSN messenger & Myspace. Jasper took me on my first hike to Hanakāpī‘ai beach with a group of friends that summer & I never saw him ever again .
The time apart gave us a chance to learn more about life, have our own experiences & take the time to really grow up before we could come back together. It gave us the chance to see that it wasn't young love it was true love. Long distance relationships are not for everyone. You have to work twice as hard, be a lot more patient with each other & learn to trust more. I honestly never thought I'd be in one. To me they're a lot more meaningful-If you can trust someone hundreds of miles away, then that's beautiful.You may not get to hug them, kiss them, or wake up next to them every morning, but you do get to talk to them; we talked & Face-time everyday & got to know each other even more. Everyday that passed by our love for each other grew stronger as if he was the missing piece we’ve been trying to find. Distance didn't stop us from what was meant to be, we were each others 1st & last thoughts everyday & night.We learned to appreciate the time we were able to spend together & distance taught us the true definition of Patience. It reminded us that every moment together was special & every second together should be cherished because it would be worth it at the end.
