20 V-Day Texts To Send Your Long-Distance SO That Are Sweeter Than Chocolate

Feb. 14 can be a bittersweet time for long-distance partners. On the one hand, you may feel thankful to have a happy relationship on this holiday. On the other hand, you may be bummed that you can't celebrate said relationship together. The good news is that there is a slew of Valentine's Day texts for your long-distance partner that you can send to show your love and gratitude.

When you really think about it, many of the things you might do in person if you could spend Valentine's Day together can still be done from a distance. You can listen to music, watch a movie, stare into each other's eyes, and even share an indulgent dessert or home-cooked meal together over FaceTime. Most importantly, though, you can express your appreciation for each other. And isn't that what Valentine's Day is all about? Letting your SO know just how much they mean to you? That's something you can definitely do from afar, and all it takes is one simple text (and perhaps a few heart emojis for good measure) to accomplish.

So, don't pass up the opportunity to show your long-distance boo just how much your cherish them this Valentine's Day. If you can't be physically with them, here are a bevy of ways to feel closer, no matter how many miles are technically keeping you apart.
