my friend is in a very similar position as me. he didn't meet his new love interest on the computer but she doesn't live near him. he and i are really alike. usually i can beat him in writing, but when hes in love or has something good going on he's hard to beat. heres something he wrote that is beautiful and i couldn't have done any better myself. this writing could easily be about my situation too. except i haven't seen my girl at all. at least he got to see his. not fair. but he makes me proud to be his friend. i love him. heres what he wrote:

-----------------------------------------------------

Time spent with her was like a dream

The kind that seems real for minutes after you awake

I can remember all of the details as if I drew them myself;

her full lips, and the taste of her mouth

Her face is etched into my mind's eye like a perfect memory

If she forgot about me, there would be a hole torn in my happiness

Time would stand still until I mended

Our meeting was like spontaneous combustion; a freak occurrance

She came in like a warm breeze through an open window,

and quickly became a hurricane, rearranging everything

I met my fears, and killed them with one deliberate blow to the head

I'm terrified she could do the same to me

But when I touch her, I am reassured

Watching her leave was a sad ending to a happy movie

I know she'll be back, but I can't help but fear the opposite

Like a free-diver anticipating the breech of the surface for a gasp of air

I will be anticipating her return

2,500 miles and 5 hours away, but seconds by phone

Her absence feels like hunger

I am afraid to sleep; I don't want to forget anything

I hate the fact that I will wake up alone again

Nine days is a long time to be hungry

The only thing worse than being alone,

is losing someone that made you forget what loneliness feels like

When she's back,

all of these words will sound foolish
