We have to.

We live an hour and a half apart if you travel early enough in the day -- two hours during late nights and holidays.

This time a week ago I was buying a winter coat. After that, I went home and was sad and lonely because I was without her. So at 10:00, I hopped on a train to get to her. I got there at Midnight. I had to wake up at 6:30.

It was so worth it.

And so now it is difficult to tell myself that no, I really cannot go out there tonight. While it will feel good to see her -- this isn't a habit I should feed.

It's not as though I'll never see her again. I need to chill out.

But I'm wondering when we'll get past the obsessive spending time with one another phase -- especially considering that we just spent 4 nights/4 days together because of the long weekend.

I am knitting her a scarf.

On a side note...I am calling in to work tomorrow so I can make some headway on the huge pile of graduate school stuff that I need to do.

This makes it especially tempting to venture out to see her tonight.

It's hard to remember to be independent when you've finally met someone who makes you feel like you don't have to be.
