someone i hadn’t talked to in months said to me recently, “i miss you.” i said back to him, “i miss you, too.”

what i meant to say was, “i miss you, too. but like you miss a headache. or cancer. some things you get used to having around. but that doesn’t mean you should have them around. or that they’re good for you. or that you should get used to them being there. some things you shouldn’t get used to at all. some things you should miss. cause you were killing me. i miss you like cancer.”

i should have said. i guess i should clarify. so as not to confuse.

    No you miss something because you deisre it to be near, you enjoy it’s presence.
    Something you’re used to that has disappeared is called a change, but not missable.
