How Much I Miss Him...

How do you miss someone so much? How do you miss someone so much when you just saw them minutes before? How do you miss someone so much when you simply close your eyes even when they are right in front of you?

Yesterday I went to lunch with my mom, and my two best friends to the restaurant where he works (too much might I add). The one thing I love about Colin is how he committed he is to whatever is front of him. He is so focused on the task. And whatever he does, he puts all of his effort towards it. It's in moments like these, that he challenges me to be motivated at what I do. He makes me want to be more creative and more devoted to my work. I love how he inspires me to be more than I am, everyday. That evening he was leaving around 3:00PM to mix sound for the band he is a HUGE part of in Richmond. I wanted to go, but my ruptured LIFE, I mean ear drum wouldn't allow that. So as I left the restaurant I gave him one last hug before we left, and then grabbed his hand and felt it linger for a moment and then slip away, it was awful. I just wanted to stay and hug him forever. As I turned, I watched him go back to work, and I started to miss him. And it wasn't the regular kind of "miss" it was a longing, and ache. I mean, I missed him like he was leaving for months, not just 20 hours, it was crazy. So I got in my car, turned on the radio, and drove back home. The whole ride home, as beautiful as it was, windows down, warm air all around me, I still didn't quite enjoy it as much as I would have with him beside me. You see, life, my life has been enhanced since he has become a part of it. He just makes the mornings brighter, the evenings more warm and calm, and my whole self better when I think of him, see him, talk to him. He is my true God send. I can feel God's embrace all around us, and that is truly amazing. I pray that I continue to miss him everytime we're apart, and miss him like I did on this day.
