This song has a lot of meaning for me. A few months ago, I met my wonderful love online. The moment I saw him, something about him stood out so strongly in comparison to everyone else that I've ever seen. That something about him peaked my interest and drew me in. I eventually realized one thing: there was no particular thing about him that was special, for it was everything about him that actually was. The whole distance situation is not always understandable by others. People have expressed their lack of understanding to both of us. Not everyone understands how one can possibly love another that lives far away from them. What people seem to forget when they say that is that if you truly love someone, no obstacle will change that, including distance. Despite what anyone says and the stranded feeling that distance brings about, Jeremy will always be in my heart. It's definitely hard. I see his face on a screen on a daily basis, and I just want him to actually be in front of me. I want to feel his presence more than I've ever wanted anything. I wish that we didn't have to have distance between us, but that won't stop me from loving him. We were able to meet in person for my birthday. I'm flying to see him for the second time next month, and this song is in the playlist of songs I'm going to listen to on my flight. As the lyrics state ("thousands of dollars just to be near"), it isn't going to be cheap. He is worth an infinite amount more than all of the money that it will ever take to see him. I love him so much, and I long for the day that he and I can break the distance for good.
If you are in a long distance relationship, please never let anyone try to talk you out of it. Always listen to your heart. Always be strong. Never give up. If it's meant to be, then the day that the distance can be broken will come. They will be in your arms, and anyone that has ever doubted you will rightfully be proved wrong.
