Long Distance Relationships

Love Songs for LDRs

This song is one of my favorites by Stevie Wonder. It is on his Album "Songs in the Key of Life"

It has been running through my mind for several days now, and I have been playing it almost continuously. It reminds me of Bluespoke.

Knocks Me Off My Feet
<S. Wonder>

I see us in the park
Strolling the summer days of imaginings in my head
And words from our hearts
Told only to the wind felt even without being said
I don’t want to bore you with my trouble
But there’s sumptin’ ‘bout your love
That makes me weak and
Knocks me off my feet

There’s sumptin’ ‘bout your love
That makes me weak and
Knocks me off,
My feet

I don’t want to bore you with it
Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you
I don’t want to bore you with it
Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you
More and more

We lay beneath the stars
Under a lovers tree that’s seen through the eyes of my mind
I reach out for the part
Of me that lives in you that only our two hearts can find
But I don’t want to bore you with my trouble
But there’s sumptin’ ‘bout your love
That makes me weak and
Knocks me off my feet
There’s sumptin’ ‘bout your love
That makes me weak and
Knocks me off
My feet

I don’t want to bore you with it
Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you
I don’t want to bore you with it
Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you
I don’t want to bore you with it
Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you
Darling I don’t want to bore you with it
Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you
I don’t want to bore you with it
Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you
Darling I don’t want to bore you with it
Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you

Thanks, Ebony, for sharing that with us! Your countdown is sounding better and better too!

Hope all the LDR's are getting through this week healthy and as happy as possible.

Well, I know we are. Had an actual arguement! But, then we talked it out and feel even better than before. Yippee! Just remind me not to talk about certain members of her family out of hand again, eek za! I was in BIG trouble. Anywho, it's great now. I hope you are all doing well, love checking this board every day to see how everyone is doing. Take care.

Hehe that's part of the reason Daeth is coming here first instead of me going there first. He's an important part of my life....and I want him to meet my mom and that way when I tell her that I'm moving to be with him...maybe she won't freak out on me so much for taking her baby (my son) so far away from her.

81 days and counting I love you Daeth

But who's counting....<chuckling>

 

[Ebonyfire]

My life is much simpler

He's an important part of my life....and I want him to meet my mom and that way when I tell her that I'm moving to be with him...maybe she won't freak out on me so much for taking her baby (my son) so far away from her.

81 days and counting I love you Daeth

Most of my family have passed away. No mother, father, grandparents, aunts or uncles. Just 2 cousins, 1 daughter, son-in-law and grandson. They are in Washington state, so are not a factor in anything I do. My 15 year old sister is living with me.

No fodder for arguments. Of course, me being me, I bet I can find something to argue about!

I am glad all is well with everyone.

I found disagreements to be just another way of learning about each other! Not enjoyable, but by talking through them, there is a stronger feeling of closeness when the dust clears.

Hugs to Raina and Ebony too! I think we all agree that NOTHING will keep us from getting together with our men!!

[Ladyhawke]

Well..here I am...hoping that the fates will all come together and in 7 days we will be able to get together! I just have to wait to see if I have to work since it was a last minute thing and I didn't have a chance to request that day off. So with a little luck my countdown is down to 7 and if not then it's 9

 

[Smiley777]

Hello all you wonderful people. I hope you are all doing well. Ladyhawke: 7 and 9 are the lucky numbers of my love and I, that is very neat! Hope everything works out perfectly.

On a side note, I wanted to check with you all about something. I have recently seen ads for AT+T's new Unlimited Plan. From what I can tell from their website, it is 19.95 a month, for unlimited minutes to all other AT+T long distance plan subscribers, regardless of state....at least here in the U.S. I was just wondering if any of you had signed up for this...or gotten more details? This is a group that I thought might be able to tell me more about this. Any help would be great. Thanks bunches.

 

[JennyOmanHill]

Last night, I waved goodbye
now it seems years,
I'm back in the city, where nothing is clear,
and thoughts of me, holding you, bringing us near,
and tell me;
When will our eyes meet,
when can I touch you,
when will this strong yearning end,
and when will I hold you again.

Time in New England took me away,
to long rocky beaches, and you, by the bay,
we started a story who's end must now wait
and tell me;
When will our eyes meet,
when can I touch you,
when will this strong yearning end,
and when can I hold you again....

I feel the change comin'
I feel the wind blow,
I feel brave and darin'
I feel my blood flow,

With you I can bring out all the love that I have,
With you...there's a heaven
so earth ain't so bad,

and tell me.....
When will our eyes meet,
when can I touch you,
when will this string yearning end,
and when can I hold you again....again.




Hi Smiley

I personally do not use a long distance carrier, but rely on prepaid phone cards. You can find some good discounts with these, plus they set a "limit" with phone time (which I personally need, otherwise I'd never get off the line!).

Love this drawing!

Thanks Ebony!

Hang in there. 43 days will fly by!

I do not know anyone who has used it. I know it won't work for me cause my love is in the UK. Try it for one month and see if it is worth it.

[Ladyhawke]

[JennyOmanHill]

[Smiley777]

Yay for everyone!

I hope you are all doing great. I will be checking out different phone plans this week hopefully, and if I find something good I will let everyone know. I am aware not all of us are calling within the U.S....so I will try to check on international rates as well.

Anywho, the woman I love will soon be back in her own apartment. Just one week left, thank goodness...I dislike our schedule as it is right now, makes me bananas!

I can see some of our fellow LDR's countdowns are coming to a finish. I hope you enjoy your time...and I will be sure to check back before then to wish you good luck and my best wishes.

Welcome to the thread, Cherrie!

Have you met your LDR yet, or will this countdown be your first? As you can tell from the last few pages, there are several countdowns happening which is very exciting!

Please feel free to visit often and share your experiences! The more the merrier!

Happy for you that June is almost here!

It will be our first face to face, but we know each other soooo well through the hundreds of IM's, emails, and phone calls! (he calls me everyday from Munich!) He is the sweetest, most caring, and most wonderful guy! It's kind of funny, when he first messaged me, I kept refusing the thing! Then one day I was in a bad mood, I accepted it just so I could tell him off... he said something so sweet that I didn't have the heart to say what I had intended! And now I'm ever so glad I didn't!
We've exchanged current photos and we both have webcams and they can't lie! Plus the phone calls... I just can't wait till he gets here!
Thanks again for giving me a place to publicly tell him how I feel!

Say it isn't so Lady Sam! I hope you do not have to push it back!

I am a basketcase and I have 34 days left!

[Ebonyfire]

WOW! 5 days

I'm so excited..I managed to get Thursday off so looks like we're going to be able to get together then and Saturday...so I'm down to 5 days...oh my gosh...what am I going to wear

I am sooo jealous! Buy something new! I am looking for something myself. Something that I can wear on the plane yet look fresh as a daisy after a 6 hour flight!
