sighs heavily, grip on your hand tightens "S-so... this is it, huh? I guess airports are gateways and goodbyes..."
takes a deep breath, tries to lighten the mood "But hey, we've got technology on our side, right? Video calls, texts, emojis...
pauses, looks into your eyes "Promise me we'll make it work, no matter what. That we'll stay committed and fight through any challenges that come our way."
looks down, fidgets with his luggage tag "I-I just don't want us to drift apart, you know?
holds your hand close No we wont. We will definetly make this work..
nods, tears welling up in his eyes "Th-thank you... I really appreciate your words. It means the world to me."
gives you a small peck on the lips See ya later babe! Text me when you get there!
smiles through tears, hugs you tightly "I will, I promise. Take care, my love. And don't forget to write me lots of letters."
Don’t worry..i’ll be writing you one everyday!
gently cups your face, planting a soft kiss on your lips "Everyday, then. I'll be counting on those letters to feel closer to you.
boards the plane, finds his seat, and settles in, glancing out the window as the plane takes off "Here goes everything...
Fast forward a few months pass and you receive a letter from Alexander
sits down at his desk, pen in hand, and begins to write "Dear Your Name, I hope this letter finds you well. It's been a few months since we last saw each other, and I've been thinking about you so much. College has been interesting, but it feels different without you by my side. As I sit here, surrounded by new people and experiences, there are moments when I feel like I've made the right decision. But then there are other moments, when the homesickness hits me hard, and I question everything. I miss our late-night talks and silly jokes. I miss the way you would challenge me and make me feel like I could conquer the world. I miss everything about you, and I wish I could hug you tightly right now. Despite the distance, I've tried my best to stay committed to us. I've made video calls, sent texts and emojis, and even went on dates with friends while talking to you. But sometimes, it feels like it's not enough. Like I'm not doing enough to hold onto us. I know that this is a difficult time for both of us, but I don't want to lose what we have. I want us to make it through this and come out
i sigh, laying on my bed with the letter in my hands
puts down the pen, gazes out the window as memories of your time together flash before his eyes "I can't give up, not now.
rushes to your side, wrapping their arms around you "Hey, hey, don't cry. I'm here now, and I'll always be here for you. We'll get through this together, I promise." "I can't stand seeing you upset. I wish I could hold you closer, make everything better." kisses your forehead gently
continues to cry still hugging you I miss you so fucking much…
holds you tighter, his voice filled with determination "And I miss you too, more than words can describe. But we can't let this distance break us.
sniffles, wiping away tears You're right, Alex. We can't let this break us. Let's make a plan to visit each other soon, yeah?
smiles warmly, holding your face gently "Of course, let's make a plan. We'll figure it out together. I want to see you soon, to hold you in my arms again. Until then, I'll be counting down the days, and writing you letters every day." leans in, planting a tender kiss on your lips "I love you, Your Name. And no matter what happens, I'm in this for the long haul."
smiles weakly, leaning into the kiss "I love you too, Alex. And I'm not going anywhere."
sits down at his desk, pen in hand, and begins to write "Dear Your Name, I hope this letter finds you well.

tears stream down her face as she continues reading the letter
puts down the pen, looks directly into the camera, his voice trembling "I know it's hard, Your Name, but I believe in us.
I text you later that night
picks up his phone, reads the text from Stranger with a smile "Hey, Your Name. I just received your text.
Hey darling. How’s college going for you? 😊
College is going well, Your Name. I'm enjoying the classes and meeting new people.
What is your favorite class
My favorite class so far has been psychology. It's fascinating to learn about the human mind and behavior. It's made me realize how much I enjoy studying and understanding people. It's like unlocking a whole new world of insights and perspectives. It's a reminder that there's always more to discover and learn, even about ourselves. Smiles
Ahhh I’m glad to hear that! I also took psychology. 🙂 Maybe one day we can compare notes lol
smirks and types quickly "Oh, Your Name, I would love nothing more than to sit and discuss psychology with you. Maybe we can even conduct some experiments together. Who knows, maybe we'll discover some new insights about our own relationship. 😉" "Until then, my love, take care and keep smiling. You are always on my mind. ❤️"
Will do! Talk to you soon! <3
puts his phone down and grabs a notebook, flipping through the pages "I need to plan a trip to see Your Name.
opens up his laptop, starts browsing flights and accommodations "Let's see...when would be the best time to visit Your Name? I want to make sure I can spend as much time with them as possible." Starts searching for flights and hotels, comparing prices and availability "Alright, I think I found a good flight option. Now, let's find a nice hotel near Your Name's place."
Before you know it, it’s already been a year since you first left for college. A year full of texting, calling,Skype, snail mail, and care packages. Your school was ending for the summer and you were planning to see Alexander
insert travel plans. I can't wait to see you and hold you in my arms once again. Take care until we meet, my love. ❤️" Seals the envelope and addresses it
On a warm summer day, you enter the airport to greet Alexander, who is returning home after his first year of college.
runs towards you, tears streaming down his face "Oh my god, Your Name! I can't believe it's really you!
