Sometimes involves doing things you might not be super keen on doing. But doing it because its important to your partner.

Sometimes involves nudging someone to the edge, pushing them to step out of their boundaries, out of their comfort zone

Sometimes involves telling them, that they need to think about their happiness first, above and beyond your feelings. So that they can be happy too.

I have learnt a lot from The Boyfriend, and will probably keep on learning =)

He is a good partner to learn from

When a man doesnt talk about the future with you. Doesnt gush about the possibilities of more time together, of doing things together. When a man makes plans on his own, future plans without you in it. When he shows no interest in your future intertwining with his. Job plans on his own, life plans on his own. No indication of protectiveness over you. When you cruise on a day to day basis...

He doesnt want a future with you. And you could be in it all alone.

He may love you in the here and now, but no, he will not love you forever.

I miss...

Being touched by someone who loves me. Holding hands while we walk down the street. The small of a palm against the small of my back. The fit of my head in the nook of his neck.

I miss...

Having someone miss me. Long for me. Having someone so happy to see me... of someone who cannot wait to see me. Of devilish smiles when we first meet. Of small hello kisses and goodbye kisses. Of him searching for me in the middle of the night. When he cannot wait to just hold my hand hello, kiss me on the cheek hello

I miss...

Sharing a life with someone. Of having him want to share his life with me. Want to tell me of his day. Want to share with me his hopes and dreams and ideas and mundane everyday ordinary things. Share with me his family and friends. Share with me, my family and friends.

I miss...

Just being wanted by him
