From Our Readers: To the One Who Waits

When will waiting be worth it? When will time be right for us? When will we meet again? How do we maintain the love despite of the miles between us, the time that almost separates us like you're on Mars and I'm on Venus? How does distance makes it so hard for you and me to reach for each other's hands, to hold me in your arms, and to kiss me good morning and good night?

I don't go around collecting then select. I don't go around taking chances to see who will choose me. And if they don't, then I'll remain at your side. Baby, the moment I saw you and started loving you, I already told myself that you're the one I'll choose. And I chose to stay beside you; that choice will take effect for a lifetime.
