To Miss Someone

I miss my Boyfriend. I miss him a lot! You'd think we'd be able to be apart for 6 weeks and not whinge about it as we for the majority of the 6,5 years we've been together have been in different countries. It's funny how you adapt to a new situation - living together - and how easy it is to forget the months that used to pass before we were able to see each other again.

My sleep is undisturbed when I'm away. No snoring, no kicking, no waking up in the middle of the night cos Boyfriend need the loo, no Boyfriend that cuddles up behind and is 100C hot, no chest-/backhair that tickles my nose, no fighting over the duvet or bedspace. I sleep well here but at the same time not.

I miss all the above mentioned (apart from the backhair). And I miss it alot. I don't care that he's got a bladder the size of a pea or that he kicks out right before falling asleep (I can always kick back) and the bedhogging, well- I think I do most of that anyway and that he then needs to wake me up to get me to move over to my side.

I miss going to the grocerystore together. I miss him saying "We don't really need that, Ems." I miss being annoyed with him for leaving his horrible CDs everywhere. I might even miss the way he throws his laundry everywhere but in the laundrybasket but I haven't made up my mind about that just yet...

I don't know how we managed to stay together by talking on the phone only. But we did and that's probably for a reason so the next 2 weeks apart shouldn't be too difficult to endure. I don't think that another 6 weeks apart will happen for a while though...maybe in 6 years and we're sick of the sight of one another. But by then I will have gotten control over his backhair - even if it's the last thing I do!
