Here and There

So...it's around ten at night, and the house is mostly quiet. I'm laying in the bedroom that we painted together, except I lay in it alone. I have been laying here quietly for the last five months, while he is very far away in California. February is almost over, and spring will eventually arrive.

I wonder at all the time that I've had to myself. I've found a job...and some semblance of a life here in Montana. It's possible that we shall be separated for a long time. It's also possible that the future will reunite us sooner rather than later, but if that is the case, will we mesh well together, or will we grate on each other like we did when we were unemployed together in NC? Definitely not that happiest time of our lives...

Here I am, and there he is. I wonder if he's happy over there. Perhaps he will miss me on occasion. Do I miss him?

Do I?
