I never felt the weight of this saying until it landed heavily on my head with a thud.
It was that time when my closest friend went out of the country. I felt so lonely. I craved for a companion, so much that I wished I could find my way there. But i had chains around me. Chains that kept me from moving. Chains of time and distance.
I couldn’t fill the gap. No one was fit for those shoes. No one has ever been, and no one will ever be. I learnt one thing for sure, Nothing can ever substitute a true Companion . And that patience pays. I can now stand tall and walk with along the streets holding the hands of my one true friend.
I long for the day when nothing will come our way. Not rules, not time, not distance, nothing. Just us.
Oh, how it pressed so hard till he could hold it no more. ’twas a threat towards “broken together”, but was defeated and is gradually solidifying to “together as one”

I know that feeling! Long distance relationships are the worst, no matter the relationship.
