Talking can really help, as it would make your loved one share their feelings and tell you how much they missed you there being with them. Talk to them about it, make them feel that the distance doesn't matter, and sooner or later you both will be together.

  Send Flowers
  
  Valentine's Day is considered to be incomplete without the involvement of red roses. Make sure that your partner doesn't miss out on them just because you're not there with them. Order some red roses along with a small note for your spouse, girlfriend or boyfriend letting them know that how much you miss them, and the fact that you can't stop thinking about them this Valentines Day. Gestures such as these are those small things that tend to make a great impact on relationships.

  Webcam Chats
  
  Perhaps the most effective way to communicate with your loved one is through a webcam chat session. You can not only talk to your beloved partner, but also see them in person along with their emotions, expressions and the use of their body language can also establish more effective communication. You can use the webcam chat as a means to have a virtual date with your loved one, giving them a feeling that they're not alone on the Valentine's Day, despite the great distance lying between the two of you. This is the least you can do for your partner, as you cannot be there in person.
