I'm sorry I never say this out loud,
But... I miss you when you're gone.
Yes,
You'll soon be back
But still,
I get anxious as you get ready to go.
Yes, I did say it was ok
And it is
But even when you drive me crazy when you are around.
I prefer it when you are.
You must follow the path that works best for you.
And that means sometimes
You will be away from me.
I know this
And support it
But I still miss you.
I always do.
It's not something I'll tell you.
I don't want you to feel uncomfortable about going.
You matter to me
And so it is bitter sweet for me to watch you go,
Even though you will return.
Till then,
I will miss you
Until you come home to me.
