One Day, You’ll Spend Christmas With Your Forever Person

One day, you won’t be alone on Christmas. You’ll roll over, before your alarm clock even rings, and snuggle into his chest for a few blissful minutes before your excitement takes over and you can’t wait any longer to give him the gift you picked out months earlier. The gift that contains all of your love wrapped up with a bow and an address label that says his silly nickname across it.

One day, you’ll have someone to kiss beneath the mistletoe. Someone to sing crappy holiday songs with as they play over the grocery store speakers. Someone to finish off your eggnog when you know you’ve had enough. Someone to debate whether you should watch Nightmare Before Christmas now or if you should’ve watched it back in October.

One day, your forever person will help you hold the shopping bags as you wander around the mall. He’ll give you suggestions on what you should buy for each family member, even the cat. And when you get home, he’ll wear the elf hat you bought for him and let you take selfies, even though he knows how ridiculous he looks and that the pictures are going to end up plastered across Instagram.

One day, you’re going to be excited about December, just like you were when you were a kid, because you’ll get to experience the old traditions again. You’ll decorate gingerbread houses. String lights around the tree. Make sugar cookies in the shape of reindeer and snowmen (and probably a penis or two).

One day, you’ll unwrap your presents and you won’t get an ugly pair of earrings or a generic scarf like your exes gave you. You’ll get something personalized. Something that proves that your person really knows you and exactly what would bring a smile to your soft lips.

One day, Christmas won’t feel like a materialistic day. It won’t be about the presents or the sales or the holiday bonuses. It’ll be about the fact that you get to see your forever person with their family. Hugging their nieces and nephews. Helping their grandparents take the turkey out of the oven. Getting on the floor to play with their childhood dog.

One day, you’ll have someone special to bring home to your own parents — someone that swaps jokes with your cousins and compliments your aunts’ cooking. And if your family has already fallen apart, if time has eroded your love of Christmas, then you won’t be as disappointed as you used to be when the holidays roll around, because you’ll have a new family. A family with your forever person.

One day, you’ll end up spending Christmas with the love of your life. And every single year after that, you’ll get to do it again.

I used to think that love looked like breakfast dates, like cuddling even though you get too hot, like “I don’t feel well” immediately followed by “I’ll bring you tea and make it better.” I used to think that love looked like Saturday nights under the stars, your hand in mine, our bodies more tangled than the cords of the headphones we shared to listen to our favorite song. These days, love looks more like waking up to a “good morning” text, like the look on your face when I say “I have to go now” over Skype, like “do you need me to call you?” when I’m upset even though I know you’re out with friends. These days love looks more like watching the same movie at the same time and texting about the plot, like checking the weather in both of our cities and calling you when I can see the full moon. These days love is the twinge in my chest when you say “I can see it too.”

Long distance isn’t all cute smiles and long Skype calls. It’s not all smiles and laughter and it’s certainly not what you see in Hollywood movies. It’s fucking hard and it’s terrifying when you realize how much you love that person. As time passes, you’ll start missing the little things. Everything will remind you of him because you spend so much time focusing on the little picture and the big picture. It will start with his smile, the way he lights up when he sees you, the way he grins when you catch him staring at you. Then it’s his intoxicating laughter, how it fills the entire room. And before you know it, everything else that you miss about him hits you like endless tsunami waves. It’ll knock the breath out of you and it’ll ambush you with pain you’ve never thought you would feel. How you long for him to be physically there when life gets hard will be the most painful thing you’ll ever experience, at least for me it is. I find myself closing my eyes as tears roll down my rosy cheeks, searching for a memory of how it felt to be held and kissed by him. The pain I feel is infinite when he’s not around. Call me dependent, call me weak. I know I’m not. I just love him more than you can imagine. This pain will be worth it when I see him again. I’m sure of it.

To those who keep romanticizing LDRs while ignoring what’s behind closed doors, take it from someone who’s in one so quit telling me how I should feel. (via 07815)
