I've been with my current girlfriend for almost 4 years and I have been living w/my her for about a year now. ever since we started going seriously I probably never went more than 2-3 days without seeing her. the longest I went without seeing her in probably 4 years is when I went to LA for a 3 night trip I won.
well this past tuesday she left to nicaragua for a week due to the death in her family, and now that she is gone i realize how much little stuff we have that i take for granted. just small things like sleeping in the same bed with her, sitting on the couch watching a movie with her, giving her a kiss on her cheek as she sleeps in bed as i'm leaving for work, telling her little jokes and putting a smile on her face, being able to make sure nothing bad happens to her and protecting her, etc, etc.
I just never realize how much those things really do make me happy. it's been only 2 days and i feel kind of weird. and it's not like she's an hour or two away. shes in another country on another contenant. i was going to wait until i landed a new job and settled into a new place with her and once it's all set and done, i was going to then probably propose to her if it felt right. but missing her while she's gone and realizing all this stuff, i think it's going to happen in the pretty near future.
