LDR

although it pains me to admit this, i am in a long-distance relationship. it's going into its fifth year, and with the exception of one time following a horrible visit with my significant other, i have never strayed.

sometimes i wonder if it's worth it: the constant countdowns until the next time we'll be reunited, the tugging at my heartstrings every time i see or hear something that reminds me of my beloved, the jealousy i feel of friends not in LDRs.

the next part of my life is quickly approaching, and soon i'll need to start growing some roots. should i take a leap of faith and start a life with my other half? does the relationship have what it takes to stand the test of time?

or will the two of us keep on with life the way it is, always needing a better reason to take the next step? will new york be the one that got away?
