Right now there are borders, two time zones and one bad internet connection between us. But when you look at the moon tonight, know that I'm looking at it too. It's the shortest way to you I have right now.

Long distance love messages
A long distance relationship lives on messages. Here are messages for every stage: the video call that ends too soon, the date circled on the calendar and the airport where you finally hold each other.
- 12 for her
- 13 for him
- 17 for either
- 4 rhymed
Twelve more days. The suitcase is half packed, and my heart has been ready for ages.
There are a few hours of flight between us, but when you read this, I'll be right next to you.
Good morning over there, good night over here. Beautiful, you're both my morning and my night.
Darling, this distance is hard, but you're worth every day of waiting.
Our relationship is long distance, but my internet bill is very close. Worth every cent.
When you come back, darling, first we'll just stand at the airport and look at each other. Everything else can wait.
Darling, on video calls I only see your face, and I miss everything else. Especially your hands.
Distance has taught me one thing: it's not how far apart we are that matters, it's how close we are when we talk.
Darling, your photo sits next to my bed and it's the first thing I see every morning. Soon it'll be you.
Darling, the package is on its way. Inside is your favorite chocolate and a letter to read whenever things get hard.
Mountains and rivers keep us apart, but nothing divides my heart from your heart.
My love, a video call at six in the morning is proof of true love. Or insomnia. Today it's both.
Darling, you fell asleep in the middle of the call again. I watched you for two hours. Don't ask.
The calendar on the fridge has one date circled. Every morning I cross off one more day until it.
My darling, I know it's hard sometimes and you wonder whether all this is worth it. It is. Every conversation until midnight, every message I wait for all day and every plane ticket we buy proves that we choose each other even when it isn't easy. The distance is temporary, and you're permanent to me. Hold on a little longer, my love. Soon we'll be telling this as a story with a happy ending.
Darling, I'm proud of us. Few people could handle this much distance, and we're still here.
We watch the same movie at the same time, each on our own couch, and we still laugh at the same moments. That's love.
Beautiful, when you finally land, don't plan anything. That weekend is ours alone, and there won't be much going out.
Darling, I'll be waiting at the airport with a smile, and at home with something much better.
Our song is in my headphones and the seat next to me on the bus is empty. Soon you'll be sitting there.
Kitten, I'm counting. Nine more days, two hundred sixteen hours and countless kisses I owe you.
Teddy bear, your jacket is hanging in my closet waiting for you. Don't tell it, but I've been wearing it.
Distance isn't the end, it's a test. And so far we've passed it every time.
Darling, when things are hard, imagine I'm there holding your hand. I'm imagining the same.
Darling, today the rain fell just like on the night we met. I missed you instantly.
Borders and oceans and time zones apart, yet one rhythm beats in your heart and my heart.
My darling, my faraway star, each night without you stretches so far.
No sea or mountain could stand in my way, for you, my darling, I'd cross rivers today.
Pros of a long distance relationship: nobody steals my blanket. Cons: nobody steals my blanket.
Beautiful, next time we see each other, I'm taking you somewhere you can't hear anything but the sea and us.
Darling, I'm still wearing the bracelet you gave me at the airport. It stays on until you're back.
This message crossed borders to tell you just one thing: I'm here.
My love, the waiter at the café keeps asking me where that pretty girl I talk to on the phone is.
Darling, you sent me a photo of your lunch again. I'm taking it as a dinner invitation the moment you're back.
We may be far apart, but I talk to you more honestly than to anyone who's physically close to me.
Darling, thank you for waiting for me. I know it isn't easy, and that's why it means more than I can say.
Darling, thank you for never leaving me without a good night message, however late it is where you are.
Three things I'll give you first when we meet: a hug, a kiss and another hug.
Beautiful, your toothbrush is still standing in my cup. It's waiting for you, just like me.
Darling, don't worry about me. I'm fine, I just miss you in every little thing.
Every video call ends too soon. In person, it won't.
No messages match this choice.
Try another tone, length or person.
How to keep long distance messages feeling close
- Share the small stuff
A photo of your lunch or a line about the rain brings you closer than big declarations.
- Keep a shared ritual
The same good night message or the same movie at the same time makes it feel like a shared day.
- Always mention the next visit
A date on the calendar gives strength for every day of waiting.
