The Midnight Gap

The physical ache you feel in your chest at 11:59 PM on December 31st when the person you love is miles away. It’s the realization that no matter how loud the fireworks are, the silence of his absence is louder. You love him so much that the distance doesn't scare you, (or does it?) but on this specific night, it’s the only thing you wish you could destroy.
On New Year's Eve, this is the person you don't kiss, but the person you pray for.
Happy New Year to everyone except the miles between us. I’m feeling the midnight gap so hard right now. I just want you here.
I close my eyes, ignore the miles, and send every ounce of love I have across the map, knowing that you feel me.

I love YOU, B 😘
