The boyfriend is going away for a couple of days on a business trip and it suddenly struck me that we have not been apart for more than a day in our entire relationship. He has always arranged for me to accompany him on business trips but this time round, the agenda for KL / Jakarta just doesn't permit me to.
We both agreed that we are going to miss each other a lot and as I fussed over him when he was packing earlier this evening, I started questioning the relationship. Are we too clingy? Are we too dependent on each other? Is it normal for couples who have been together for the amount of time we have to want to see each other every day?
No matter what time we end, we would always meet, even if it's just to share a trip home. The boyfriend has always been strict on this issue; he wants to send me home, no matter where we are or how late it is. Since both our jobs is(for him)/was(for mine) so demanding, we often end up waiting for each other at the respective offices.
Some may say that our routine is a waste of energy and time, but it's been like this for so long, and I can't imagine it to change anytime soon. Nor do I want it to. That's the highlight of my day - to see the boyfriend after a gruelling day at work, share anecdotes about the office/clients/boss/co-workers or just bitch about life in general.
Sometimes I fall asleep in the car and wake up to his hands on my cheek and his indulgent smile. Sleepily, as I trudge to the lift, his hands will be on my back supporting me in case I fall over and land face-in the garbage bin. Other times, when the boyfriend is feeling sleepy, he will appoint me Master TP Watcher and I will shriek at the sight of any white car/bike parked ominously at the side of the expressway.
So two days wthout him seems like a lifetime and to put the icing on the rotten cake, he will be away for a 5-day planning session in Krabi later this month!
Be safe, my darling and come back soon.

Wake me up when September ends
I have decided that I don't really care if anyone calls me needy. I just hope that we will greedily want to spend every waking minute with each other when we are 60, both of us with walking sticks and dentures, he with white hair and me with vanity-induced dyed hair.
