Why do I keep waiting and holding on?

People tell me that his silence indicates his disinterest and I should let go, "it's not worth it" they say.

"If he loves you, he won't treat you like that".

But to me, I've never considered anyone else. I've never thought of living life with someone other than him even though it hasn't been the most smooth-sailing journey so far. There must be a reason why God gave me so strong feelings for him.

If we can emerge from this together, we emerge stronger. And this is what I believe God wants us to experience.

Growth, humility, love, patience, endurance and communication.

Growth in our personal faiths.

Humility to admit mistakes and accept failure. Not to blame the other but to know the difficulties of the other and display forgiveness.

Love and patience towards one another. Learning the other's love language and understanding the needs of the other.

Endurance so as to continue running this race not as a sprint, but as a lifetime marathon.We must learn to pace ourselves.

Communication, one of the most important things couples need. Without it, the relationship dies bit by bit and it'll become harder and harder to communicate.

I still miss him like mad and it increases every day he doesn't talk to me. But it's just 10 days more until he comes to Singapore and I'll get him for more than 48 hours. What precious and crucial time to bond and talk.

I can do this. It's just 10 days. I'll make it until then, and hopefully a lot more.
