A D-pad (short for directional pad; also known as a Control Pad) is a flat, usually thumb-operated four-way directional control with one button on each point, found on nearly all modern video game console gamepads, game controllers, on the remote control units of some television and DVD players, and smart phones. Like early video game joysticks, the vast majority of D-pads are digital; in other words, only the directions provided on the D-pad buttons can be used, with no intermediate values. However, combinations of two directions (up and left, for example) do provide diagonals and many modern D-pads can be used to provide eight-directional input if appropriate.
Although digital D-pads offer less flexibility than analog sticks, they can easily be manipulated (requiring little movement of the thumb) with very high accuracy. They are also far less demanding in maintenance and do not protrude very far from the controller, making them ideal for portable consoles such as the Game Boy and the PSP.
Long distance love
Love and love
"I just want to hug you, but your are 480 some miles away, what I wouldn't do for a hug."
"I wish that you were here or that I were there, or that we were together anywhere!"
"And ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation."
"Before I sleep and after I wake up and all the hours in between ... you occupy my mind.
So, practically every moment of the day you are in my thoughts. I miss you."
"I may not get to see you as often as I like. I may not get to hold you in my arms all through the night.
But deep in my heart I truly know, you're the one that I love, and I can't let you go."
"When it rains it reminds me of you.
Although 2000 miles away is so far I still always walk outside in the rain and kiss it just for you.
It never fails me. The rain will always come and I'll always love you.
Next time you see a storm on the horizon please don't fear it's just heaven doing me the favor of taking you my kiss.
Walk outside and kiss the rain whenever you need me."
"Though miles may lie between us, we're never far apart, for friendship doesn't count the miles, it's measured by the heart."
"Don't measure the distance; measure my love."
"We are the perfect couple, we're just not in the perfect situation."
"5000 miles away and you are still right here, in my heart and mind."
