it's funny how this missing goes.
at first you arrive, and heaven knows
all you can think about is what you left.
little time to appreciate what is there
you just long to return to the place where
you once laid your head and felt at home.
but silently and slowly that place you are
becomes part of you, like the one afar
that you claim you miss with all your heart...
until you return to that original place
and realize there's still an empty space
for the place you were so eager to leave.
it's funny how this missing goes...

I like this. And it's right on spot.
But sometimes it's good to miss. You know what they say about absence...
I can definitely identify wih the last stanza. Been through that a couple times now.
MMM. You've caught the spirit of the thing right Rae. Someone needs to tell B.C. that there are many things that people say about absence :-D
