“Our love story begins

without us actually meeting

one another. At first we

were separated by screens,

but now we are distanced

by the miles that are put

between us. When we live

our lives without living with

one another, we see other

couples on the street,

in stores, and even in class.

We are envious at the fact

that they are privileged

enough to be able to hold

one another without a phone

line in the middle. We listen

to our friends telling us about

how annoyed they are

that the one they love wants

to be with them at every

moment. What we wouldn’t

give to be in their place.

To be able to even touch

each other would be enough

to allow us to sleep soundly

for one night. They make it

look so easy in the films.

That you can just jump

on a plane and be beside

the one you know that you

were made for. But it’s not

that simple, and it’s not

that quick. If I would have

known that you were the one

I would be dreaming of

throughout the day and during

the night, I would have used

my life savings saving what

we had left, instead of investing

in an education that would

just leave me as jobless

as it would hopeless.

But with you, I wouldn’t need

professors or pens, I would

just need your presence.

But it’s not that easy,

and it’s not that cheap.

And if I had it my way from

the very start I would have

stopped Pangea so that we

were never separated

by the oceans that have

put a wedge between our

bodies and love.”
