Nine times out of ten
I'll wake up with tears
and a sad song in my ears
for all the bygone years.

I wish I could miss you some.

But it's not you I cry for,
the mornings are quiet
and I can't see you in my eyes
for my heart to tie it
to anything I've ever loved.

I wish I could miss you some.

I remember this feeling
from so long ago
though I thought it was gone
but now I know.

I don't want to go back,
but I do want to come
to my old life before you.
I wish I
could miss you some.

Oh, Dixie, I do so understand the words of this poem. I understand it, my friend, because I have felt the exact same way, and have written about it, but in those days I didn't have the fortitude to say it like you did . . .

'I wish you'd go away so I could start missing you now'--that's what I should have thought, but never did. I like the way you word this one. I never would have come up with it, but it resonates strongly with me.

Wishing you could miss someone if only to find yourself again... the person you were before them... yup! I know that one only too well. ((hugs))

Sounds familiar and enjoyed reading your touching words.

thanks everyone

it hits me a little funny that I haven't seen my husband since the 15th and I am really not missing him like I thought I would

maybe I'm just having too much fun with my girls, who knows

Getting away is cathartic, my friend, and so is returning home. You're re-newing the bucket of remembrance by being where you are (catching up on the missing) which, if you were back to 'before' quite possible would never had happened.

Not 'missing' the husband, unless you hate him anyway, is the comfort zone in your relationship, and as it should be, all other emotion presently revolves, as it should, around the family you with right now.

enjoy you . . . I do...

why long for longing when complacency is much more comfortable... and safe?
