Missed Sunday Connections

Tweet

This is the moment when I hope that it is raining; cold mist in the air, drops of rain on my window pane and a sad song on my radio. These simply sets the mood in everything I am feeling right now. I am on a long distance relationship, as some of you knows. My partner and I always plans Sunday as "our" day. Since we are distant from each other, thanks to the the advent of technology, we meet up online. Sunday is the only day we can spend time together since both of us have our own jobs to attend to on weekdays. We always have our YM's up every Sunday afternoons for five years. It has been customary for both of us every weekend to talk on cam just so we won't be missing anything on what's happening from each other's lives. Today, with much anticipation that I will be talking and chatting with My Suisse, I received an email from my partner. "Baby, unfortunately I am not at home. Right now I am in Dresdin.", the email says. As I was reading the message, the balloon of happiness that I am feeling earlier simply exploded right in front of my face. I suddenly went numb. "Maybe it is not understandable but I love to travel whenever I can. Next weekend I am at home. I Love You Baby.", the message went on. Just that. "Das macht mich traurig. Dann sehe ich Sie in Dresden! In meinen Träumen! I love you and Take Care", I replied. It was only a one-liner response. Yes, I am sad and mad. We have our cellphones with us. Why can't I be informed through text? I could have been called and we could talk. The fact that this is not the first instance this happened. I only get to know my partner's whereabouts the last minute. It is not about trust issues, doubt or whatever. Nothing like that. What I only need is an open avenue for communication. Of course, if we spend a week working hard, we also need a breather. We need time for ourselves, too. Enjoying moments with friends, travel, recreation and the like. That, I am not taking away from my partner because I do that to. I just need to be informed. I miss My Suisse, so much. I cannot wait for September. We really need to talk about small things like this. I still need that sad song on the radio though, to calm me down. Never should this "missed sunday connections" be happening again.
