The "I miss you" influence

Being me, i blogged about everything except what was really the highlight(the low-point actually) of the last month. but the recent spate of I miss you posts just made me feel like publishing this draft.

Chintan, a very dear friend of mine, moved to the U.K to study marine biology. Its been weird for the most part, no not have her a text message or a phone call away or a short drive away, and hard, to believe so.

I miss the time we spent together.

I miss the way she says Hello on the phone, with a voice that smiles.

The way she scolds me (for almost everything :P) Not that she doesn't do that now, but how does a yahoo IM match up to the real thing?

I miss those late night talks. And the walks, few and far in between.

I miss the fun outings.

I miss the smile that lights up my face when i see her. (Yes, this should have been framed as I miss the smile on her face when she sees me, but sounded so arrogant)

I'll tell you what, the fact that she wanted to study Marine Bio since ages and is finally doing it, is no consolation. Theoretically yes, practically no. Even if she were studying something else, I bet i would feel the same, and she'd feel the same. Maybe not initially, but once we are over the euphoria, this is where we would be

While writing the post, (on the night she left), and since then, All i've gained is the ability to miss someone.
