From point A to point B, nothing will separate you and me

Last night, my boyfriend and I engaged in one of the most serious talks we have ever had. It started when he texted me saying, “Sorry [I replied late] babe, I was talking to my dad about what’s going to happen at the end of the [school] year.” I asked him what was going to happen even though I already had an idea: He mentioned to me a couple of months ago how his family has been wanting to move to Concord, which is about an hour away from where we live now. His reply to my question was, “Um I’ll talk about it later babe when I call you, okay?” That was the selling point; his response let me know that what I had been dreading was slowly becoming a reality.

He called me about 5 minutes after, knowing that I was aware of the situation at hand. “My dad said that, percentage wise, it’s a less than 50% chance that we’re going to move at the end of this year. But there’s still a possibility.” To make matters worse, if his family doesn’t move this year, they are definitely moving after we graduate next year. After thinking about the situation, I started crying and there was a long silence as we both considered possibilities of what was going to happen to us. I could tell that he didn’t want to talk about it by the way he avoided the subject at all costs and by the tone of voice he was using; I had never heard him use such a tone before. It was so melancholy, so sad—a side of him that I had never seen before. We had talked about long distance relationships before and came to the conclusion that if one of us ever had to go somewhere, we would stick it out for each other no matter what. He and I decided that we would enjoy our time together now and only deal with that problem once it draws nearer, but it’s been lingering in my mind ever since he mentioned it.

“I’ll always love you, no matter what, okay? Forever and ever and always. We’re going to make this work.” I couldn’t even respond to his statement due to the fact that I was choked up because of the tears I started to cry when he said that. The other night he started talking about our future together and how he wants it to happen so badly, and to be honest, yeah, I can see myself with him for the rest of my life even though I am still a youngin’. I just pray that whatever happens, we’re able to conquer it, just as we promised each other we would. It’s already gotten to that point where I’m terrified of losing him. But I praise God that Isaac is willing to do whatever it takes to stay with me.
