goodbye...no, really, bye

So you said goodbye. Or maybe I said goodbye. I can't remember the order - it's not the point of this. The point is that the moment I hung up all I could do is cry like a toddler who had been told that Santa Claus didn't exist, and the Tooth Fairy was really just their mom. My crying was just as irrational and hiccuped, ridiculous and loud. But I had a reason to cry, I missed you the moment the phone went away from my ear. I swear a little piece of my heart has gone with you, and I won't get it back until you come home. I love you.
