The adjective that measures distance, time, and your ex's voicemail rants equally.
means Extending a great distance, taking a great deal of time, or — as a verb — aching with desire for something out of reach.
from From Old English 'lang,' part of a deep Germanic family (German 'lang,' Dutch 'lang') that traces back to a Proto-Indo-European root for 'long' or 'extended' — the same ancient root that gave Latin 'longus,' ancestor of 'elongate' and 'longitude.' The verb sense ('to long for') grew from the same word, on the logic that yearning makes time and distance stretch out unbearably.
