Missing you already

I never realised the difference between going away yourself and having your partner go away. Yesterday Stacey went to Perth for the school holidays and I was wondering around the house with nothing to do. Whenever I go away and leave her at home, I don't miss her as much as I do now. I guess when you go away you are always doing something, you have a purpose for being where you are. But being the person left behind, there is only the mundane things of life without anyone to interrupt them. It doesn't help that I don't have any friends in this town. All of my friends are back in Perth. The people I work with are all a generation older than me. I am going to ask for 2 weeks off next school holidays so I can go to Perth with Stacey.
