“That’s the worst way to miss somebody. When they’re right beside you and you miss them anyway.”

“I can't take not knowing what the next day will bring- the uncertainty is sawing me in two. The room is dark. A flickering candle burns on the window ledge a few feet away. I take a deep breath, which is to say, as deep a breath as I can take."Are you okay?" Sarah asks.I wrap my arms around her. "I miss you," I say."You miss me? But I'm right here.""That's the worst way to miss somebody. When they' re right beside you and you miss them anyway.”

“How can you miss someone who’s right beside you?”

“Miss Todd, I want to dance with you in the worst way.”

“I miss him in so many ways, but right now I miss him in the way you always miss someone when you're single among a room full of couples.”

“I missed you even when I was with you. That’s been my problem. I miss what I already have, and I surround myself with things that are missing.”
