will never get over the fact that we can love people despite there being countries between us. we can miss people we’ve never seen in person. we can connect and bond over hundreds of things without ever needing to be in each others physical presence. we can have half the globe between us and love never falters.
”IRL”? this is real life. you’re just talking to me from computer. i’m on the same planet as you. perhaps one day i will pull you from a burning building
