Photographs
Make a scrapbook of your partner's photographs. If you can, take print outs of his/her photos and stick it on your bedroom wall or put it in a photo frame by your bedside. That way atleast you can "look" at him/her whenever you feel lonely and miss your beloved.
Communicate Daily
Make sure you talk to each other daily, even if it is for 5 minutes. If you cannot talk, use the Internet and send mails daily. It need not be anything special. Just talk about how was your day and ask how was his/her day. Tell something that stood out or something that made you feel good. Strike a conversation like you would have done if you both were together.
Little Things Matter
So what if your beloved is 3000 miles away from you? You can always sense what your beloved uses in his/her daily life. Buy that cologne he uses or get those aroma candles she loves. That way, you can always feel that he/she is right there, near you. Learning about their daily lives is a great way to keep the relation healthy and alive.
Plan your Meeting Together
Keep the excitement alive by planning your meeting together. That way, both of you will treasure the moment you meet and will be looking forward to it. Make a list of things-to-do together when you meet. It will keep you from sulking till the time you are apart and you can always make plans to make your meeting special.
Set a Limit of your Absence
When you set a particular deadline of the time you are going to be away from each other, you will not be as depressed as you will know that your wait is limited and will be satisfied by the mere feeling that someday you will be united again. You wouldn't be bogged down with the thought that you would have to wait forever.
