epiphanies

" i havent seen her for 8 months now,!" a friend of mine said to me, casually describing the complicated long distance relationship he's currently in. my eyes widened for a brief moment.
" do you love her?"
" can i say that 'i'm supposed to?' " he answers with a playful smile.
i laugh in response.
only later that day did i realize how messed up it was- the fact that two people who are so fond of each other manage to hold on without physically being in each others presence for 8 months... and his reply...
how many of us often fail to differentiate that fleeting sensation of lust and that intense irrevocable feeling of love. we get bored so easily these days, relationships are usually a touchNgo kind of occurance.
i understand now.
its okay.
