I miss you....

I miss you.

I want you right before I close my eyes at night, where I can relive the memory of your lips pressed against mine. I want you first thing in the morning, when I'd like nothing more than to stretch and yawn and let my eyes fall on your sleeping form.

I miss you during the day; as I idle in traffic, while I'm staring at my laptop, when I find myself alone in the elevator, wishing I could steal a tiny kiss.

I miss you during meals, when you'd nag and natter away at me for choosing chocolate and desserts over meat and vegetables. You nag like an old lady, by the way. But it's ok, it's all right, I still love you anyway.

I miss you when the sun starts to set, as the skies turn into brilliant shades of pink and orange and purple. It reminds me of the countless times we spent just sitting back and admiring God's miracles to earth together....And what we had was one of those miracles. Love in its purest forms. Once upon a time, when the world still spun in the right direction on its axis. Yeah. Too long ago......

Why do I have to explain?

I went by the middle school today to see the custodian. Claira is watching his chinchilla this summer and I needed to find out if I can take Gizmo back to the school tomorrow. I don't want to have to worry about getting him back there after she leaves. So, we will go by in the AM and take Gizmo in and set his cage back up.

While at the school it came up that Claira is going to be moving to Washington to be with my parents. I don't know why I have to explain this to everyone. Why does everyone have this interest in what is going on. I realize that people are naturally curious, but geeze! I am tired of explaining.

I am just glad that school is starting on Wednesday so that I can get my mind off things and get back on track. I think that I will keep working with the basketball team if I can and maybe work on one of the clubs. It will be nice to have a little free time to do the things that I want to do, not that I won't miss Claira....it is going to be such a change.

Well, have to run, but I need to remember that sometimes it is nicer to let people keep things to themselves, I see first hand now how ackward it feels to be on display and have to explain things...
