So far apart

I know these two people. He loves her very much. Maybe more than anyone can bear to be loved. he just wants her to be happy. He wants to take care of her. There is only one problem: they are very far apart. It pains him more than he can explain to anyone - not even to her. She is very beautiful, but she cannot see it. He will never stop telling her, and she will always say that she is ugly. They are often talking into the blue air without listening, because they are so far away from each other. They do what they do to survive in their separate lives. It is not easy for them. He tries to be strong, and he tells himself that he just has to take good care of her. No matter how she reacts he must never think that she does not like him anymore. He is strong, but it is hard. She is very kind. She has big faith in God. He respects her. Never in his life has he met a woman who believes in something like she does. He has always been looking for a woman like her and will do anything not to loose her. Maybe he is doing too much. She does not like to talk and the longer they are apart the less she talks. Her behaviour of not saying anything is very radical under the circumstances. Her silience on the phone and letters of only white pages. He feels he is loosing her. He knows it is not true, but he it still scares him. He knows that he just has to keep on talking to her and it will be all right. One day they will not be separated anymore. It gives him hope that some day they will be together forever. He tries to cheer her up, but he still cries every night when he falls asleep.
