I feel, pathetic as it sounds, a little incomplete when you're not around.
Like something is missing.
We don't have to be doing anything - reading a book in bed, lying on the couch or cooking dinner...
but you're still here.
Then when you leave, I still want to know what's going on with you, and visibly show this.
A call, a text - some contact with you.
But you, you're different.
Away in physical space almost means away all together.
Calls are infrequent and texts much the same.
I know it doesn't mean you don't care or miss me a little.
Just maybe your thoughts are not on us... or me.
In some weird way, it shows how secure you are with us.
Why do you need to tell me you're thinking of me, I should already know that you are.
Still, it would be nice if you could just humour me once in a while, and show me.
It would make me certain, that despite your absence, you do think of me and want that connection.
Not all the time, just once in a while.
