Soo Close, but still very far

this all started with me looking for romance, looking for love. it was late June of ‘07 when i met arlene. she was just getting out of a relationship, and i, well i was a lost soul. i didnt have any beliefs, my friday night was the extent of my plans for the future, i worked hard and i partied harder. nothing else mattered but myself and what i wanted. at the time my sister in law introduced us to each other, first just through texting, then over the phone. it had to be that way because she lives in the Philippines. half way around the world. first it was all through texting, got to know her through that. started falling for her through texting, people doubted me on that, i even questioned it myself sometimes. but then she did something that moved me. she took my feelings and put it infront of hers, no one’s ever done that for me.
