I’m not missing…

If You’re not missing someone, does that mean that You don’t love Him?

No.

It just means You haven’t been missing Him. Loving someone is different from missing Him. Missing someone just happens to be an offshoot of loving. But it’s not the only product of it. (And it doesn’t mean that if that product is not there, then there is no love. As example: Some mango trees have flowers, some don’t. But all of them are mango trees, regardless…)

If You miss someone, you’re wanting something for Yourself that You aren’t getting from that someone. It’s not love. It’s want. See: when someone dies, you miss him so much that you could cry an ocean… but what is that crying for? Who is it for? For yourself or for him? An aspect or an act of loving — at least in the "ideal" sense of the word — is giving something to someone. If You’re missing someone, write Him a letter, record a song for Him, draw something wonderful for Him. Do something for Him. Make an offering. Even if He’s not there with You, at least You know that You’re there for Him.

I know I was there.. .

Comments, anyone?
