Do you ever miss the idea of someone?
Not actually the person per se. But the idea of that person.
How can I explain...
Let's say there is someone you know who fills a certain place in your life. Whether it be your friend, your significant other, your co-worker, your "hook up" buddy, whomever, and then that person is suddenly gone.
Oh, not dead or anything quite so dramatic. Just gone.
Maybe you had a fight or they quit or you just moved on... and you find yourself missing that person.
Only you realize it's not the person you miss (maybe they were annoying or insecure or fickle), it's the idea of them. Because before they were gone (again, for whatever reason), they were there. You could count on them. The relationship was safe. Easy. Predictable.
Then one day.
Gone.
And you're like - woah. What happened? Where'd they go?
That's when the missing part comes in.
Anyway. Just like most things that come and go in your life, you may miss them for a little bit, but then you move on. It's all very simple.
Now if only you could get them to stop reading your blog...
