Leaving

When someone leaves, it sometimes feels as if you've lost them. You are very close to that person, you love them, and they mean a lot to you. Even if you know where they're at, you probably don't know what it's like and how they are being treated. Do they feel like an outsider? Do they just want to come home? You don't know. You don't know how they're feeling and you wonder what thoughts are going through their mind.
All you know is when they're gone, all you want is for them to come home. You know that this is what needs to happen eventually. Nothing feels right when they're gone; everything's just wrong. You aren't happy, and neither are they. Imagine someone you're used to seeing every day, imagine not being able to see them for a few months, and not knowing how much longer it will be until you can see them again.The worst part is that they are not able to come home right now. The thing is that when they're home things just never work out, and when they're gone nothing is quite right either.
When they're away, they are constantly on your mind, you're always worrying about them. You can't really tell how they are feeling about the situation; they act as if they aren't bothered by what's going on, but you know that deep down inside they do care. They hide their true feelings, while you're worried and scared for them.
Leaving is a hard thing to deal with, especially when coming back home isn't as simple as it sounds, and you have to work through a lot of things before it can happen. When someone you really care about leaves, it sometimes feels as if you've lost them, maybe even forever.
