I Miss You

I don't know that it's been explicitly stated but no, Sabrael and I haven't met IRL (god, I hate that phrase so much. I don't know why but it just seems so grating...) For the first several months of our friendship, all our communication was strictly texual (IM, email, RP, etc). Then after we started dating, we moved onto Skype and phone calls. Essentially whenever he is awake, I have myriad of ways to get a hold of him. He is rarely out of communicable reach. As am I, particularly since I'm lucky enough to have a Blackberry, or 'smart phone' if you will.

You would think that with all this accessibility to someone you have never physically met, it would be impossible to miss them. That's not exactly true. There are connotations to the word miss that you can only feel it for someone close to you who is no longer nearby so maybe it's not exactly the right word to use. However, to be exact, the word miss is defined by Merriam-Webster as 'to discover or feel the absence of.'

I feel the absence of Sabrael every day. Every morning that I wake up and he's not beside me, I miss him. Whenever I'm sitting in class and remember a silly joke he told me, I miss him. When I'm staring at the contents of my refrigerator, wondering how to construct them into a semi-decent meal, I miss him. It's usually at that exact moment that he sends me a texts gets online, or calls me and it always brings a smile to my face. As long as he is around, physically or not, I don't feel so alone in the world. My world just makes so much more sense with him in it.

Until next week, don't abandon your keyboards for too long, and have a great weekend!

P.S. - Doing the playlist post was so much fun, love. We need to do some more late night writing sometime. ^ ^ I had tons of fun just getting the chance to hang out with you so much this week and I can't wait til that becomes a permanent thing. Love you dearest! <3 Good luck on your next article!
