Miss You

I've been thinking about the concept, sensation, phenomenon of missing someone. What, exactly, is missing someone?

For me, there is an overwhelming emptiness, a longing for what is missing. In its truest form, it's a void that nothing - no one - else will fill. And that spot, that place in your heart that is that person's, well, it isn't filled by anyone else, just stays owned by that person, forever. Altered, irrevocably, forever, by the touch of one soul.

The physical response to these emotions can be so intense - that ache for another. I guess that's the mark of true connection huh... that when it's missing, the longing overtakes you, you hurt, it permeates your thoughts.

Powerful stuff.
