It depens of the situation

Right now I'm in a sort of distant relationship with my lover? almost boyfriend? sex-mate? since seven months ago. We're from Spain, but he's working right now at Poland. I won't meet him until five more months, and that's not for sure. That's okay thou, we aren't really dating (or maybe yes, but our "relationship" can't progress like this). But I know that if this becomes really serious and we have to be separated again, it will be okay. But that's because it's me and it's him.
Other people can't take it, and that's okay too. Distance is hard, anyway.
