The new strain

I fell in love during the pandemic, the only catch was that he was set to move away for work. COVID meant 6 months of living in each others pockets, delays upon delays (thank god) and then like a tonne of bricks, that miserable day came. The visa finally came through and he was off to live in Asia for the foreseeable. I dropped him at the airport, saw him walk through the gates and thought it would be easy for me to visit now that things were easing. Turns out he picked the country with the strictest travel restrictions, now with the new strain its all gone to shit and I don't know when I'll see him again. #loveisnottourism
