LDR Secrets

The Internet is a wonderful and powerful thing. It has allowed perhaps millions of people around the world to find soul mates that they may have never met in this life time otherwise.

But LDR's (long distance romances as they are called) are never easy. Below is a fictionalized story of two people wading slowly into the waters of love through excerpts of their on-line chats. They share a single secret with each other every day as a way of getting to one another better.

WhtMaid: bullshit...sounds great...but i quit believing it...haven't figured out what's wrong but something must be

DarKnight: there not a thing wrong with u

DarKnight: if i lived closer to u right now think i would be spending more time getting to know u

WhtMaid: i should get to bed

WhtMaid: it is after 2

DarKnight: u have to believe

WhtMaid: no...i have to focus on the things i can have in my life...a kick-ass career...being a published author...raising great adults...those are things i can make happen...the rest is just make believe

DarKnight: no they are not

DarKnight: u have me in your life forever

WhtMaid: you're my friend...so that's true

DarKnight: yes with out a shame we live so far apart

WhtMaid: i really should go to bed...i don't want to bring you down today...like i said it's just been a wacky day for me...sorry if i bummed you out...thanks for listening to me...i mean that

DarKnight: babe im here for u any time

WhtMaid: what's the secret for the day?

WhtMaid: or am i supposed to go 1st?

DarKnight: im thinking

WhtMaid: alright...i'll go first then...

WhtMaid: i promised you that you would always know where you stood with me...but i haven't been completely honest lately...i'm sorry...my only excuse is i'm really scared...and i've been trying to protect myself...but i realized something earlier...it is too late for that...somehow along the way it has gone past that...protecting myself isn't an option anymore...so if i mess this all up by what i'm about to say then so be it...but i'm falling in love with you

WhtMaid: and it isn't even 1 am so i have no excuse

WhtMaid: night-night

DarKnight: dont no how to take that not in a bad way as i getting to know u every day more and more and feels for u are growing

DarKnight: you going to bed

WhtMaid: i can't go to sleep?

WhtMaid: can't i pretend i didn't just say that?

DarKnight: no i'm glad u did

DarKnight: secret for the day i cannot wake up with out talking to u and miss u when i go and cannot wait to get home to speak to u on here or the phone always on my mind now

WhtMaid: i want to apologize...i shouldn't have said what i did the other night...i don't want any pressure on you...so can we forget it?

DarKnight: the other night secret

WhtMaid: yes that

DarKnight: if that how u feel i know there no pressure for either of us and cannot forget it i'm starting to feel that way

WhtMaid: it is just that sometimes i am TOO honest

WhtMaid: i don't mean to be...but it happens...so as the kids say just tell me TMI...too much information...alright?

DarKnight: no like your information

WhtMaid: alright..it's just something i've never done...step out like that...and say how i feel...it is really tough and scary...so i was afraid i shouldn't have done it...keep 2nd guessing myself...which isn't like me at all...usually when i do something...after i make a decision...i am full steam ahead

WhtMaid: my pattern is always analyze and plan...then make the decision...commit to it full steam ahead...then figure out how to make it really work...once i decide to commit to something i never back down...some of my friends at work might wish i did...lol

DarKnight: so u are committed and going for it

WhtMaid: wow...you ask hard questions...but yes...full steam ahead...and figure out how or if this can work...come up with a plan as i go

DarKnight: so i better watch out

WhtMaid: no...all i ask is be honest with me...just let me know if this isn't what you want

WhtMaid: lol...actually...my feelings for you probably makes you the one man i could never come on to...too afraid to

DarKnight: well don't u think coming on to me after a few day with u will change

WhtMaid: would change once i felt secure that you wanted to try to

DarKnight: when i come over will know for real how i really feel about u if it's like i do now

DarKnight: want to hold u to know u are real

WhtMaid: yes...and me too...eyes to eyes...that's where the soul is

WhtMaid: my secret for the day...i'm afriad it will never happen...that something will come up and 6 weeks and one day will never really be

DarKnight: only to thing would stop me coming then but not afterward something happen to family

DarKnight: then would just come another time

DarKnight: ok secert i'm scared that ill come over fall in love and will have to find a way of being with u

WhtMaid: is that so bad?

DarKnight: especially if i want u in my life forever

...And they lived happily ever after! No thanks to the complicated immigration systems that make being together absolutely hellish for international couples.
