Behind the Song- Long Distance Lovers

Long Distance Lovers is a song I wrote about being in a long distance relationship. Haha hence the title.

I was in a long distance relationship for two years. I felt myself falling in love with someone who I regularly spoke to but only by phone. We would try our best to create experiences with each other to feel more connected. For example, we would go a movie theater at the same time, grab the same snacks and debrief afterwards on the phone. At times, we would order the same food and have a sit down candle lit dinner. FaceTime became our best friend.

I am not one to quickly fall in love with someone. I tend to over analyze every word and every move. But I still felt myself falling quicker than ever. It became so overwhelming at times because I wanted to tell this person I loved them but I feared they would not feel the same.
