"I missed you."

"That's it? Nothing else?"

"Yes. Er- No. I don't know. I just do!"

"Come on. Surely there's som ething more!"

"More? How much more of 'I missed you' can there be?"

"Something more than that at least!"

"Um, okay. I missed the way you laugh. I missed the way you frown-"

"The way I frown?"

"Yes, the way you frown. What?"

"Why would you miss the way I frown?"

"I don't know. It's a part of you."

"Oh...okay. That's it?"

"What do you expect me to say?"

"I come back after a week of hell and all you can say is you missed me?"

"Uh...yeah."

"You make me sound like some barking golden retriever! Just give me a pat on the head and feed me a bone why don't ya?"

"Well, your eyes do-"

"Don't even start."

"What do you want me to say?"

"I don't know! Something better than that!"

"What? Something like what? That the house felt empty without you? That it felt pointless driving back here to your house that didn't have you everywhere? That the bed didn't have your scent here? Or that I couldn't sleep because there wasn't a body next to me, warm, safe, alive, with a heartbeat pounding under my ear every morning? Or maybe how every time the phone rang, I kept thinking it was you again, how I felt foolish because I survived fine perfectly alone before, only to find myself turning every light on because it was too dark without you here? Or how about the one phone message of yours that I missed getting so I played the tape over and over again to hear your voice until your machine choked? By the way, we need to get a new answering machine. What do you want me to say? I missed you, okay? I. Missed. You. I missed how your jaw feels so rough against my cheek before you shave, how your hair just has so many different shades, or how you like to run your fingers through my hair although I wish you would stop that because it's hard to comb it back down again when you do. What do you want me to say? Maybe you want me to say how I feel so incomplete without you here? Or how I seem to float aimlessly, how I keep looking up to my doorway, keep hearing your voice, even though I knew you would be back soon? Or how I wish I could talk to someone about us, but we can't and that makes me feel more alone? Or how about I missed you so much, even your silly jokes were missed? I even found myself sniffing your pillow every night so I could sleep! Is that what you wanted me to say instead?"

"..."

"WELL?! "

"Uh...okay. Well, I missed you, too."
