A woman can miss someone who is still right beside her, because presence without intimacy is absence disguised as closeness. She may share the same room, the same bed, the same daily routines, yet feel the ache of distance in her spirit. What wounds her most is not physical separation but emotional neglect, the quiet erosion of connection that convinces her she is alone even while she is near.
She notices the way his eyes no longer linger, the way his words no longer carry warmth, the way his touch no longer steadies her heart. These subtle changes are not sudden; they accumulate slowly, like drops of water hollowing stone. And though he is beside her, she feels the emptiness of being unseen, the grief of being unchosen, the ache of being unnoticed.

She feels the silence between conversations, the hesitation in gestures, the lack of conviction in reassurances. What once felt alive now feels obligatory, and obligation cannot sustain her spirit. She begins to miss not just his presence but the version of him who once chose her freely, daily, and with sincerity.
