I belong to you; there is really no other way of expressing it, and that is not strong enough. But for this very reason I don’t want to know what you are wearing; it confuses me so much that I cannot deal with life; and that’s why I don’t want to know that you are fond of me. If I did, how could I, fool that I am, go on sitting in my office, or here at home, instead of leaping onto a train with my eyes shut and opening them only when I am with you?
— Excerpt from a love letter written by author Franz Kafka to Felice Bauer, dated November 11, 1912
My girlfriend shared this with me. We are currently in a long distance relationship and sometimes it can be a trip. I would love to hear about your thoughts on long distance relationship... and do read the excerpt above over and over again if it doesn't make sense the first time.
