My boyfriend's in Iraq at the moment, and I didn't realise it was possible to miss someone as much as I do. It's like an actualy physical pain and sometimes I feel so pathetic coz I honestly can't stop thinking about him. It makes it worse that I have to wait until he can call me, and all I can do is email or write, but sometimes he can't even read an email for ages if he's too busy. For me, I cope with missing him just by counting down the days til his tour finishes (Only 7 weeks to go!!) and remembering that he's coming home to me. It is hard, I think it's one of the worst feelings imaginable, but I suppose it's better for me coz he's on the phone most nights telling me he loves and misses me as much as I do him.
