I wrote this months ago when, clearly, I missed everything about Ex.
I don’t miss you, I miss the idea of you
I don’t miss your house, I miss playing house
I don’t miss our dinners together, I miss a table for two
I don’t miss the the tennis court, I miss a partner
I don’t miss your bed, I miss a warm body next to me at night
I don’t miss our time together, I miss the daily routine
I don’t miss your kisses, I miss a mouth touching mine
I don’t miss your voice, I miss being told the truth
I don’t miss your touch, I miss being touched
I don’t miss the vacations together, I miss escaping the day to day
I don’t miss you, I miss the fairy-tale, the infinite, the forever
I don’t miss anything about you, yet there is a hole so big and deep that sometimes threatens to swallow me
But in reflecting about this I realize there is one thing I miss. The one thing about you that is pure and honest: I miss your dog! I miss those big black eyes begging me for a treat!
and this last image is just because it made me laugh:
Cute! I enjoyed this. 🙂
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it! Blessings! 🙂
but it’s ok to admit you miss(ed) him, too 😉
yep, there are some hard moments every now and then 😦
but getting better every day! Many blessings! 🙂
You’ll be fine, as long as you have this rockin’ sense of humor!! 🙂
got laugh, life is great! Thank you ! 🙂 Blessings! 🙂
Lovely well written, it is hard , but with time it gets better and you don’t miss, but enjoy your freedom as I do now! I certainly do not miss having dinner ready exactly at 6, and never being able to choose my programme to watch. Concentrate on the things you can do and happy to do on your own! enjoy your freedom!
Thank you for the supportive words! I have been cherishing my freedom and finding more and more reasons to smile! Looking back there were things that I am happy I don’t have to put up with anymore 🙂 Many blessings to you! 🙂
Happily there’ll be coming a day that you can say ‘what did I ever missed in him 😉
and it is getting closer and closer 🙂 Thank you for the support! Many blessings! 🙂
This is exactly how I felt, and it’s so hard explaining to people that you can be sad about it without wanting the person back! And I lol’d a lot at that last quote… made my day!
Great to find someone that shared my feelings!! The last quote was great for a little comedy relief indeed! I laugh every time I read it! Many blessings! 🙂
When my first marriage broke up and I was traveling a lot, I missed having someone to call to say I’d arrived at my destination. I didn’t miss my ex but I did miss that someone special to care about where I was. Your post could be made into a song!
Exactly, not missing him exactly, just missing someone to care about! I guess it could be a song – too bad I am not musically inclined. Thank you for the continued support! Blessings! 🙂
Beautiful. Your day is around the corner. I feel it. You’ll be completely over this person very soon and I think you’re already, (almost)there. Sending you hugs.
Thank you so much for the hugs and for the comforting words! slowly but surely he is just part of my past! Many blessings! 🙂
I imagine this was as painful for you to write, as it was for me to read it. Thank you for the therapy.
Life is good.
Life is great, and getting better every day! I am glad that my words resonated with you! The never ending pain of missing someone does end!! 🙂 Many blessings!
Thank you for liking my artwork. I am so proud that you are taking the shit of life by the balls and making your next chapter an unstoppable force of growth and goodness. Good luck!
You are welcome! Thank you for stopping by and giving this “force” a vote of confidence. Many blessing and success to you! 🙂
Wow, I am just in love with your voice, sister! You are honest and real, and I can relate to so much of what you write about. Here’s a virtual hug through it all! 🙂
Thank you for the hug and for the compliment! I visited your blog and cannot wait to try some recipes, specially the Sticky Toffee Pudding! Again thanks for the hug, I love hugs and will take as many as I can get! Many blessings to you! 🙂

Fantastic! I don’t even miss my ex’s dog (the one I gifted him) anymore. He was adorable, but whiny and ill-behaved. Moving forward! 🙂

Onward and upward for the both of us! Many blessings and new pets! 🙂

Bingo!
lol thank you! Blessings! 🙂
Sorry you are having to go through this. It is normal. I miss a lot of things about having someone in my life all the time; there are also things I don’t miss.
Right now, I have decided to try enjoying having a few someones in my life for shorter times (I think). Oh well, we try…
Scott
All we can do is try, and the best thing is that you and I are not willing to give up, we will keep on trying!
I have been discovering greats things about life solo and I plan on enjoy them the most that I can!
Many blessings to you! 🙂
Working on that, too!
One day, one step at a time! 🙂
This is so lovely! Gave me a bit of hope moving forwards 🙂
Thank you! It takes one moment at a time, a step at a time, but life is good and things get better! Blessings! 🙂
Repeating what was already stated, it should be a country song! Loved it!
Thank you! so great that you think so! Blessings! 🙂
Spot on! Thank you!
You are welcome! I am glad my words resonated with you! Blessings! 🙂
Frankly said but true. It’s good to look back and learn. It’s where you’ve been and not where you’re going. keep moving on…
I think you mean it is where I am going not where I have been, right? lol
Many blessings to you! 🙂
Well thought out. I love the bit about the leftovers, it really made me laugh.
I am glad you agree with me – that makes me laugh every time I read it! Many blessings! 🙂
I think you should forward this blog to your ex 🙂
I don’t think so! No good can come of it. I am happy that I got to say to him everything I needed to – not that he heard or understood it. Plus nothing is about him anymore!
But I appreciate your input always!
Blessings! 🙂
I think when an average reader looks at this blog piece we are really saying, “Yeah Star! you tell him, stick it to him!” Its a very cheerful and hopeful piece 🙂 just in time for the holidays.
I understand, but it just feels amazing not care about him, and just honestly wish him happiness. cheerful? are we looking at the same post??? lol
Sure I thought it was cheerful because you are sticking it to the guy and telling you ex how you REALLT feel. There are some good lines there with some powerful comebacks! Only thing sad there was about the dog 😦 I hope your ex is good to him.
Got it! It is weird how I wrote to him and still thought had nothing to do with him and all with me! lol
He is good to the dog, but not as good as I was (no nightly walks and treats:( )
“I don’t miss you, I miss the idea of you. I don’t miss our dinners together, I miss a table for two. I don’t miss your touch, I miss being touched” nice! i hope you aren’t missing him that much now as you used to. (well, since i just ran through your blog today.hehe! :D)
Well, I wish I could say I don’t miss him as much but there are a few hard moments 😦 Blessings to you! 🙂
