You know it is true love when absence makes the heart grow fonder. A long distance relationship is tough. And hey, not all of us can express our feelings in songs, without sounding like a stray cat. In order to aid the non-singing lovebirds, I have compiled a number of awesomely powerful quotes that help get the message across as effectively as Michael Buble singing personally. Take a look. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, but it sure makes the rest of you lonely. - Charlie Brown Absence is to love as wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small and kindles the great. - Roger De Rabutin Love is the shortest distance between hearts. - Unknown Missing someone gets easier everyday because even though you are one day further from the last time you saw them, you are one day closer to the next time you will. - Unknown These lonely nights are hard to get through. I will keep you in my eyes by making you a dream. - Unknown We are the perfect couple, we're just not in the perfect situation. - Joey Rivett The simple lack of her is more to me than others' presence. - Edward Thomas The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost. - G.K. Chesterton Long Distance Love Songs How I wish.. how I wish you were here, We're just two lost souls, swimming in a fish bowl, Year after year.. - Pink Floyd (Wish You Were Here) So close, no matter how far, Couldn't be much more from the heart.. - Metallica (Nothin' Else Matters) Baby when you're gone, I realize I'm in love, Days go on and on, And the nights just seem so long.. Even food don't taste that good, Drink ain't doing what it should, Things just feel so wrong, Baby when you're gone... - Bryan Adams & Melanie Chisholm (When You're Gone) Shed a tear 'cause I'm missing you I'm still alright to smile Girl, I think about you every day now Was a time when I wasn't sure But you set my mind at ease There is no doubt you're in my heart now Said woman take it slow It'll work itself out fine All we need is just a little patience - Guns N' Roses (Patience) I'm tired of being in love and being all alone When you're so far away from me I'm tired of making out on the telephone And you're so far away from me So far away from me So far I just can't see So far away from me You're so far away from me - Dire Straits (So Far Away) Wherever you go, Whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you, Whatever it takes or how my heart breaks, I will be right here ... waiting for you... - Richard Marx So If you're feelin' lonely.. don't You're the only one I'd ever want I only wanna make it good So if I love ya a little more than I should Please forgive me I know not what I do Please forgive me I can't stop lovin' you Don't deny me This pain I'm going through Please forgive me If I need ya like I do Please believe me Every word I say is true Please forgive me I can't stop loving you.. - Bryan Adams Be it independent quotes or love songs, they all carry the same message, the very emotion that you carry in your hearts. It hurts to be physically so far away from someone you love. But if you can communicate effectively, the distance will hardly seem a challenge!
