"Oh baby, you know I love you so much," said Joe as he brushed the hair out of her face.

"I love you too, love. More than the world. Or life. Or humanity," replied Anne as she slipped on her shirt.

"Me too, baby. Choosing between having you or the world would be like choosing between a billion dollars and a kick in the groin. You're more beautiful than a rose, more wonderful than wind in my hair. I'm going to miss you so much today baby."

"Me too, love. Call me at lunch, I need to hear your voice just to make it through the day."

"Course I will. Oh gosh, how I cannot bear to be without you for eight hours."

(Two Days Later)

"My love! I have the worst news!" exclaims Anne.

"What is it my sweetness?"

"My job wants me to move to Arkansas. It is a great opportunity, but we couldn't live with each other anymore!"

"Well, I think you should take it. I will miss you tremendously, but I love you, and I want what's best for you. And of course we'll still be together, just a few miles apart."

"I love you love!"

"I love you too! We are so perfect for each other!"

"WELL SCREW YOU TOO!" screams Joe as he slams the phone down.

"Yeah, I finally broke it off with that bee-yotch," says Joe to his best bud. "It was the seperation that killed us, you know? We never saw each other."

Joe's friend replied, "Well yah. How are you supposed to truly love someone if there is no physical contact with them. Love isn't about personality and character, it's about attraction. Sure three weeks ago you guys were in love, but now you haven't seen or touched one another in so long-I don't see how you're going to base a real relationship on just conversation and true love. Ha!"
