Distance makes the heart....

Grow fonder? Colder? Indepedent?  Or maybe just a healthy combination of each...

My Albanian and I have gone from inseperable to 3 nights a week, bold changes here we come!  There is peace and quiet, there is coming and going, and there is 'me time'.  After a week, I have adjusted to being on my own.  He has been slower to adjust.  I am basking in the independence and he is grasping for attention.  The only thing we agree on is, it's hard to sleep without the other, the empty space next to us keeps us awake.

It's nice not to feel trapped by each fight.  I missed having somewhere to run to when things got a little too heated.  As I am enjoying every moment of my new flat (esp.since its clean now!), he fears my place to run will become permanent.  I don't know if that will happen but I do know it's nice to have time to miss him.  It makes us kiss a little longer, hug a little tighter, and talk more.  We can't take back all that came out of living together, I wouldn't want to(well I might take back some of the gross habits I've seen but I'm sure he would say the same.) but I am glad to start dating again.  Dating means flowers when I get off the tube, brunches, and dinners out.
