I miss my best friend. I miss my companion. I miss the person that knew my every fear and weakness; the one that knew my laugh from across the room and could read my emotions with a single glance. I miss the silly little things like sitting on the porch when it's raining. I miss grocery shopping together. Neither of us knew how to cook but we'd spend so much time and get so excited about picking the perfect burgers or the freshest vegetables. I miss how we used to lay awake for hours on the night before vacations, too excited to sleep a wink. I miss the way you always put your hand on the back of my head when putting the car in reverse, as if it was a required step in the driving manual. You used to pretend to put an astronaut helmet on me when I was scared, complete with sound effects. I miss falling asleep with my head on your chest while you read or listened to music, because I always fell asleep first. I miss planning your birthday.. something I looked forward to for 12 years. I miss getting a sleepy eyed 'good morning' hug and no matter how tired or mad or far apart we were, you never failed to say good night. I miss watching you cuddle up with Tiger when taking naps and I miss seeing the dogs get so excited when they heard your car coming from down the street. I miss random text messages during the workday and I miss lazy Saturday mornings. There are no thoughtful notes on the counter or cards in the mailbox. I miss being able to say "Remember that time when ..." because no one in my life remembers that time when you and I laughed at Tiger on the roof or when we thought we had a gas leak or when we cared for those stray baby kittens. No one knows our inside jokes or our silly languages. No one in my life knows to bring me mashed potatoes when I'm sick or to help with me with math at the register. I feel like my entire life up to this point is a memory that only involves you and thus I'm left to recall it all on my own. I miss having memories together. I miss laughing together. I miss working together as a team and functioning together as a family. I miss the person that makes my heart feel complete.
