Eze and I have been together for more than six and a half years now and I still find myself so in love with him. However, it is really saddening that we just spent much less than half of those six and a half years together.

I was 16 and he was 20 when I finally said yes to him. I was in fourth year high school and he was in third year college then. Unfortunately I had to go to Manila to study in May 2002 so that’s how our struggles started with our long distance relationship. Things became even harder when he left in 2006 for Jeddah. He is his family’s breadwinner and we both accept the fact that a good career with good compensation here in the Philippines is really hard to achieve.

He went home January this year and left again last March.. We are hoping we could see each other next year.. A Long distance relationship is really hard to handle. I am just hoping we are doing well on it. I admit it’s really hard for me and him too, I know. But what can I do? Although it’s hard, I know I won’t be happy if I’d settle for someone else.. Because I love him. I truly do..

As long as I do, I can handle anything that may come our way.. As long as he loves me too and I know we’re together in this battle.
