At the beginning of every class, we are given a topic and ten minutes to write about it. During my last class, we were each given a different quote to write on. My quote was "The heart has reasons that reason does not understand." What I have posted is straight from the heart and is not edited, so please be forgiving =)
A young couple, Samantha and Jonathan, met shortly before he was to graduate from college. He had obtained a job that would require a move to Richmond, Virginia. They both lived in Kentucky at the time.
They were passionate about each other and it was unreasonable to think they could carry on their relationship once he made his move. They swore to each other that they could make their relationship work even though 900 miles would separate them. It wasn't possbile for Samantha to follow him because she had one more year of college to finish.
The phone bills were outrageous, but they couldn't go an evening without speaking to each other. Hearing his voice made Samantha's heart ache every night. Logic told her this wasn't going to work with the long distance between them.
Jonathan would make it a point to travel to Kentucky to visit Samantha every six weeks for a weekend. Samantha would count the days until she would see him. After his visits, she felt as if their relationship was refreshed and she was ready to charge on.
As time wore on, thier relationship grew stronger. Jonathan continuously asked if she would move to Virginia when she graduated. As much as her heart wanted her to say yes, she would say, "We'll have to wait and wee." Deep down she wanted to say " Yes I'll come" but.....MY TEN MINUTES IS UP!
