Missing You

Can you miss someone when they are still there beside you?
You can presume that it is the thought that your love one is going away and you will miss them when they are gone.

But what if you miss them when they are still next to you...you aren't assuming you will miss them in the future but right here and now.

Then it comes down to the definition of missing someone. To miss someone is by definition that they have gone away, and hence you miss their presence.

But what if you DO miss them when they are still next to you. Have you just broken the space time continuum?

Love is?

Watching them take their first breathe
Seeing their eyes open for the first time
Feeling those little fingers grip tightly around your own
Isn't that what love is?

Watch them walk, talk and fall
See them grow and soon to become too heavy
Feel those cuddles and the warmth they have
Isn't that what love is?

Watch them cry on the first day of kindy
See them warily make friends
Feel your own tears as they become independant
Isn't that what love is?

Watch them play sports and sing
See them succeed and their failings
Feel their tears as your wipe them away
Isn't that what love is?

Love is?
