yeah,i'm at one right now...we started as friends and ^ no it's not a waste of time...it's a great time if you know how to spend it...yeah we miss how the other feel and yeah we miss being close to them in hard times...but also those show if we really care or not..something a person in real would pretend..and the memories stay as long as you keep the old messages..sometimes irl you lose some details..i agree with you it's hard it's very hard but the more it's hard for you and you wanna keep it the more you really value the person with you.
i think my current relationship is awesome and my bf is the best in the world..at least for me but i wouldn't find someone better irl,i wouldn't spend such a great happy times like i spent with him and also sharing the bad time however i wish to help more but i try my best and i bet same for him....a friend told me you go through online relation cuz you're afraid of irl ones...well,there is no difference as we both are in the same planet it's so possible we can meet so i'm not afraid of irl like he said i just found a great person but lives further than those who we call "irl".
i respect him and highly value him..so if it happened and we separated because of any reason..i will keep respecting and caring (loving) him..and it will stay as one of the best things that happened for me..so..^ don't call someone who gave you his\her time and care and love..wasting of time..that's cruel.
She never taught him how to cry only how to sing.
Happy in herself - just as she wished to be -
she taught him endless space and vastness
and she calls him: Open-hearted.
