How does distance make the heart grow fonder?


No seriously somebody tell me, how does this work? It has been a whole week since I have seen Mr Saunders and I can't wait till he gets home tomorrow. I won't see him till after I finish at the day job and I am sure I will be counting the hours but my heart is not “fonder”.

Call me crazy, call me pathetic but I miss Mr Saunders just as much on the last day we are separated as I do on the first. Actually we have a couple of friends in our circle that really do call us pathetic, telling us we should not be happy living in each other's pockets...but we are!

Maybe that is the secret, if you are the type of people who never get sick of each other's company then you don't need distance to make the heart grow fonder. If your best friend is your soulmate and your life feels complete just by having them beside how much fonder can your heart actually grow?

Time away from Mr Saunders doesn't make me miss him more, doesn't make me love him more, doesn't make me want him more. It just makes me sad and lonely, and honestly I get less done when he is away, somehow I am far more productive with Mr Saunders hanging around.

I have spent the better part of the week snuggled on the couch with the dog and two cats who would be most upset with me if I did not point out that they too have had a very melancholic and mopey week. Distance does not make their hearts any fonder, they miss Mr Saunders just as much now as when we are home alone at night while he is at work.

Distance has not made any of us sad, lonely, couch dwelling beings appreciate Mr Saunders more, miss him more, or love him more. He is our world, he is my soulmate, he is missed and there will be hugs galore tomorrow. I am sure my heart is not any fonder, there is no room for fonder in a heart that is already full. Mr Saunders I have, I am and I will always be loving you, but you need to come home now, I can not live another day without you!

What does everyone else think...Can distance make the heart grow fonder?
