Andrea sat alone in her room, staring at her phone. She missed her boyfriend Michael terribly. It had been three months since they last saw each other, and the distance between them was starting to take its toll on their relationship.
They had met two years ago while Andrea was studying abroad in Europe. Michael was a local, and they fell madly in love. They spent every minute they could together, exploring new places, trying new foods, and simply enjoying each other's company.
But when Andrea had to return home, they were forced to face the reality of a long-distance relationship. They tried their best to make it work, but it was harder than they thought. The time difference and busy schedules made it difficult to find time to talk, and the distance made their hearts ache.
Andrea missed everything about Michael. His smile, his laugh, his touch. Even just hearing his voice over the phone would make her day. She longed to be back in Europe with him, to feel his arms around her and be lost in the moment once again.
As she scrolled through old photos of them together, she couldn't help but cry. She missed him more than words could express. She knew that he felt the same way, but it didn't make the pain any easier.
Just then, her phone rang. It was Michael. Her heart skipped a beat as she answered.
"Hi, my love," he said. "I miss you so much."
Andrea's eyes filled with tears as she replied, "I miss you too, Michael. I wish we could be together right now."
"I know," he said. "But we will be soon. I promise."
They talked for hours, catching up on each other's lives and making plans for their next visit. And although the distance still remained between them, they found comfort in knowing that their love was strong enough to overcome it.
As Andrea hung up the phone, she felt a sense of hope. She knew that they had a long road ahead of them, but with love and determination, anything was possible. She missed her boyfriend terribly, but she knew that their love would bring them back together soon.
