What Do You Miss?

tapu · 06-09-2011, 01:50 PM

Ah. And having two incomes.

avec_amore · 06-09-2011, 02:20 PM

Someone to cook for
Inside jokes
Spooning with someone (instead of the couch cushions : /)
Having a date to concerts (i'm going to Peter Gabriel alone next week...)
The smell of "hym" and "hys" things with my things in the closet and bath
*sigh*

Starrynightaw · 06-16-2011, 04:24 PM

That few moments before going to sleep when I was at complete relaxation and felt arms around me. Now it's a million pillows surrounding me like a fort. Still missing something...

wolfbittenpoet · 06-16-2011, 04:28 PM

Having someone to watch sleep all night besides the cat.
Having stripes all over my body under my shirt because they lose control.
Having a surprise 2 am snack watching the stars or old movies.
Knowing someone will worry if I don't call or show up somewhere.

foxyshaman · 06-16-2011, 04:41 PM

My map girl. She could get me anywhere. And her eggs benedict, we would have that on Sunday mornings, laying in bed watching Coronation Street. I hate coronation street now and have not touched eggs bene.

swan · 06-19-2011, 11:19 AM

I miss having someone to go places with. And someone to call and say "hey, I forgot the *blank* for dinner. Can you swing by and grab some on the way over?" I don't know that I miss it enough to have a partner right now though. But sometimes I do miss being part of an us instead of just me.

AtLast · 06-19-2011, 11:30 AM

I miss a trusted mind to make tough decisions with. I miss taking pride in our home together and sharing dreams.

I miss the serenity I found "knowing" we would age together sharing silly songs, fur-kids, good and bad cooking, road trips, making up after disagreeing. Hell, I miss diagreement.

I miss the heat of our passion and knowing we would accept each other's ways of aging with kindness.

I miss feeling whole and knowing the gifts of interdependence.

I know, however, that all that I miss is not worth travel down a path with the wrong person.

little_ms_sunshyne · 06-19-2011, 11:30 AM

I miss THE CITY and everything that comes with it...friends, family, noise, restaurants, and shopping!

*Anya* · 06-24-2011, 10:14 AM

Coffee ready when I wake up; warm cup of soup when I am ill; sex whenever and always (although I have learned a lot about my own sexual pleasure than I did when coupled for so long); the strong arms to hold me to give me inner strength when times are hard; when I see a funny movie or laugh at The Big Bang Theory but I am laughing alone-oh gosh getting maudlin here. I do not want to remain single forever but am not desperate or needy. I am comfortable in my skin with myself but want to have someone to share my skin.

Hack · 06-25-2011, 07:47 PM

Being necessary to someone other than my boss.

My green sweatshirt.

Walking down the street and feeling her hand slip in to mine.

Popping one eye open while lying in bed just in time to see her walk across my line of sight wearing nothing but a towel after her bath.

Mister Bent · 06-25-2011, 07:59 PM

My stainless steel fish bottle opener, it's just not beer without it.

Stella, my orange iPod shuffle. Though for some dumb reason she left the charger base.

bigbutchmistie · 07-21-2011, 09:40 AM

I Miss :

Hearing a cute femme's laugh

The sparkle in her eye when she looks at me

The smile on her face just because

Holding her in my arms

Protecting her

Being silly with her

Watching that special femme sleep in the moonlight

Putting my hand on the small of her back as we walk side by side

Talking and laughing and sharing secrets and dreams

Stealing kisses at the red light or anywhere just because I cant get enough of her

Her hand on my leg as I drive

Buying/Picking flowers just because I know she isnt expecting it

Leaving little love notes in unexpected places for her to find.

Passion filled love making

Just watching tv together

Walking up behind her in the kitchen while she cooks and wrapping her up in my arms from behind....

Sweet phone calls/texts throughout the day

Queerasfck · 07-21-2011, 09:47 AM

The NFL!!!

Julie · 07-21-2011, 09:56 AM

I miss my Daddy!
I miss his Voice!
I miss his Touch!
I miss the way he would grab my face and kiss me on the lips!

This face of this man... I miss this face, the face that was the perfect face to see, for any little girl.

Going to bed together every night, for years.

(Plus that cooked food thing still. That's looming pretty large in my life, today.)

AtLast · 06-26-2011, 04:19 AM

Missing family- the brother and sister I lost and my parents. I accept that both my parents had a pretty good stretch, but my sister and brother did not and they were the two siblings I was closest to. I am family oriented, a homebody too- I like more intimate and small gatherings of friends and the family I used to have. Having a BBQ, listening to what the people I care about are experiencing, feeling human closeness. Taking walks and talking with each other.

Although, I love the Bay Area, it is a busy and noisey place and I do miss the country surroundings I shared so many years with family and long time friends with and the two women in my life that I shared love with. I do miss being with a partner and have no problem saying so. I'm relational, always have been. Yet, need time to myself.

I find this area to be superficial in many ways- people just passing by... Sure it is great to be in a place where there are many queers and queer organizations as well as all of the arts I enjoy. But, I miss country hospitality and warmth and a slower pace.

Hack · 06-30-2011, 07:08 PM

Spooning. I liked feeling that I was protecting someone.

Text messages from someone anxious to call me.

Driving and stealing glances at the pretty girl in the passenger seat.

"You're watching sports right now, aren't you?"

Text messages from Mister Bent that don't involve shrubbery in my yard.

proximitywithoutintimacy · 07-19-2011, 07:55 PM

I miss the sound of her voice.

I miss being held.
