“When you have only two minutes to say good-bye to the person you love most in the world, and you don’t know when you’ll see each other again, you can become logjammed with the effort to say and do and settle everything at once.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage

“With each reunion (we) had to learn each other all over again. There was always that nervous moment at the airport when I would stand there waiting for him to arrive, wondering, Will I still know him? Will he still know me?”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage

“Mga 3days-3weeks tapos unahan na yan mag-offline kunyari naputol connection ng internet pero naputol na yung mental and emotional connection.”

― Zarry Hendrik, Dear Zarry's

“Friendships - and indeed most relationships - are measured in the closeness of hearts,
minds and soul ties... not in the distance of physical miles or even the passing of time.”
― Rasheed Ogunlaru

“Love liberates. It doesn't bind. Love says, I love you. I love you if you're in China. I love you if you're across town. I love you if you're in Harlem. I love you. I would like to be near you. I'd like to have your arms around me. I'd like to hear your voice in my ear. But that's not possible now, so I love you. Go.”
― Maya Angelou

“Just as it did when I spoke to you that day from the phone, your face comes into focus more and more as I hold you here beside me.”

― Joyce Rachelle

“The long distance hiker, a breed set apart,
From the likes of the usual pack.
He’ll shoulder his gear, be hittin� the trail;
Long gone, long ‘fore he’ll be back.”
― M.J. Eberhart

“Some of the things that beat the shit out of you . . . can beat the bullshit out of you too.”
― Henry V. O'Neil, Glory Main

“There is magic in long-distance friendships. They let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound.”
― Diana Cortes

“I have to resort to email, and email is not enough. I am starting to get tired of relying on words. They are full of meaning, yes, but they lack sensation. Writing to her is not the same as seeing her face as she listens. Hearing back from her is not the same as hearing her voice. I have always been grateful for technology, but now it feels as if there's a little hitch of separation woven into any digital interaction. I want to be there, and this scares me. All my usual disconnected comforts are being taken away, now that I see the greater comfort of presence.”
― David Levithan, Every Day

“We get frantic
in our loving.
The distance between
Santa Fe and Albuquerque
shifts and changes.
It is moments;
it is years.
I am next to you
in skin and blood
and then I am not.
I tremble and grasp
at the edges of
myself; I let go
into you.”
― Joy Harjo, She Had Some Horses

“While the truth is putting on its shoes, the lie becomes a champion of a long-distance running.”
― Ljupka Cvetanova, The New Land

“What I Should Have Said

There's nothing that says you can't
call. I spend the weekdays teaching
and moving my children from breakfast
to bedtime. What else, I feel like a traitor
telling someone else things I can't tell
to you. What is it that keeps us together?
Fingertip to fingertip, from Santa Fe
to Albuquerque?
I feel bloated with what I should say
and what I don't. We drift and drift, with
few storms of heat inbetween the motions.
I love you. The words confuse me.
Maybe they have become a cushion
keeping us in azure sky and in flight
not there, not here.
We are horses knocked out with tranquilizers
sucked into a deep deep sleeping for the comfort
and anesthesia death. We are caught between
clouds and wet earth
and there is no motion
either way
no life
to speak of.”
― Joy Harjo, She Had Some Horses

“Hoti rahengi mulaaqatein tumse
Nigaaho se durr ho dil se nahi”
― Wajid Shaikh, Sukoon

“From my distance the loss was theoretical, and though I couldn’t have said so, I preferred it that way. I felt relieved to be so far away, because I was excused from grieving. I felt nothing but tenderness for her, but there was an emotional emancipation to being here and not there. Even though I didn’t believe in God or heaven, I could childishly go on believing that she was still around. When it happened, the specific timing of my grandmother’s death seemed like a footnote: She died just after I went away. But a lesson would persist as I formed and unformed long-distance relationships over the years. Going away could free you from feeling too much.”
― Elisabeth Eaves

“With a long distant friend, I enjoy changing this obstacle into an opportunity by creating annual 'frienditions' to see and do something new and different together.”

“For Maman, Stopping to smell every flower as we wend our way across the country to savor all the history feast our eyes on museums on art, on eachother because we know a country lies between us. Time and distance are weak enemies. We pay them no mind.”
― Brian Sonia-Wallace, The Poetry of Strangers: What I Learned Traveling America

“Given how little contact Ted had now with actual Anna, it was like he was in a relationship with an imaginary friend.”
― Kristen Roupenian, You Know You Want This: Cat Person and Other Stories

“Today the sun was out, and as I walked to school I wondered if it was sunny in Kentucky too. And then I thought to myself that it's the same sun here as it is there, and that made me feel like you're not so far away after all.”
― Silas House & Neela Vaswani

“Your teasing tone,
The skin I never once felt,
Your charming enthral that leaves me shaking in terror.”
― C. L. Adams, Barely Thoughts

“. . . throughout the span of one’s life, lines get drawn and redrawn. All these arbitrary designations, the limits they describe to divide us. The only real boundary is our own skin. You can only trust where you’re drawn, where your love flows.”
― Robin Brown, Glitter Saints: The Cosmic Art of Forgiveness, a Memoir

“Your wife knew when she married you that you were also married to the sky, as men were married to the sea in bygone years. She knows that she'll have to put up with privations and long absences as long as you're any real good to her or to the world.”
― Wernher von Braun, The Mars Project
