The Cold Part

My boyfriend left one week ago for Boot Camp for the Navy. I'm incredibly proud of his decision to join, and I think he's the most amazing man ever.

But, of course, I miss him. I've been doing all the necessary things... listening to music that he likes, listening to the voicemails I have saved from him, wearing his sweatshirt and his hat... talking about him to anyone who will listen.

This is a very new feeling for me... like others I've been recently feeling... and I'm not sure how to handle them...

I've had short distance relationships before... the kind where an hour separates me from the person I'm dating... but even then, it wouldn't be more than a week that I'd go without them... and I would at least talk to them everyday...

Being sad without negative feelings is really strange and new... I don't know how to deal with it...
