I do not miss you when you’re gone.
You think I grieve, my heart is torn.

You say I think of nothing else.
But my days are free, there is no stress.

I never question where you are.
I do not care that you are far.

My thoughts are light, my mind is clear.
I do not fret that you aren’t near.

Instead of email I want to read.
My life is full of routine deeds.

It is a relief to be alone.
No urge to call you on the phone.

There is no guilt, no burning thoughts,
Or worries that it’s you I’ve lost.

I know you want me to be strong.
I do not miss you when you’re gone.

The little "much" in the end ... says it all!

Lovely write!

Yep, that "much" does say it all. LOL
I was believing you too, until I read that. LOL

Very contradicting, I feel.

This piece has a light, airy feel to it, and I think it sounds a bit didactic...trying to convince yourself, or someone else?
