Empty Spaces


What do I miss?

Let's see...

I miss sitting by the window seat of a plane

Staring into the clouds set ablaze by a sun I can't see


The thrill of visiting a new place...country, food, people, music

Getting lost in a whole different world


Struggling to hear my friends over the din of a Friday night at my favourite pub

Waving wildly to catch the attention of the bartender for that next chilled stout


Living out of a suitcase (yes I actually miss that!)

And griping about working across timezones


And I miss you...

Getting lost in those moments

As you held me close

And made me yours


Holding hands, sometimes just touching fingers...

But always, always conscious of each other


I've never minded isolation, or relied too much on proximity

But the separation sometimes kills me

Even years later

When all I want...is to kiss you.




I expect you to...

Have adventures

Fall in love

Get your hearts broken

Have sex with the wrong people

Have sex with the right people

Make mistakes
Make amends

Take a leap

Make a splash

Unleash holy hell on anyone who tries to hold you back
