Being together
Recently, I mentioned to someone that even if we were together 24 hours a day I wouldn’t give up on being with Petros online as well. Does that sound odd ? Not to me. Maybe because we first met online and grew as a couple in a virtual environment before we understood we needed each other in the meatworld as well, we developed different lines of communication between the two of us that have proven to work perfectly.
Nowadays, I couldn’t picture myself living without his fingers strolling on my skin in a sweet caress. However, I also can’t imagine how it would be like to survive the day without his words before my eyes. It is like a relationship with different layers, you see. Most couples that I know live together, but in reality they only share the same physical space for a couple of hours. Us, we share ourselves. Constantly. All the time.
While at work, we tell each other what is going on, the small and big events of our professional lives. He is there to actually enjoy my successes with me and to cheer me up when things don’t go that great. We make breaks together and plan what we will do later in the day. We help each other to overcome obstacles and challenges.
When the time comes to be with each other face-to-face, that leaves us the room to exclusively enjoy being together. To walk hand in hand and feel the sun slowly fading away at the end of the day or to have a meal. To sit under a tree and rest in each other’s arms.
And finally, when the day comes to an end and the night falls, we are still together, to have fun and laugh and tell all the things we didn’t had the time to share throughout the day.
I couldn’t imagine living any other way, without him by my side all the time. And yet, whenever I close my eyes and put myself to sleep I can’t help feeling that a day is never enough for us to be together. Lucky us, there is always tomorrow.
