"Every time I think of you, I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here, and you're miles away
And I'm wonderin' why you left
And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles, and it always makes me smile
I spend my time thinkin' about you, and it's almost driving me wild
And there's a heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you, no matter what I might say
There's a message in the wire, and I'm sending you this signal tonight
You don't know how desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight
In your world I have no meaning, though I'm trying hard to understand
And it's my heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all, since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you, no matter what my friends say
And there's a message that I'm sending out,
Like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can't bridge this distance,
Stop this heartbreak overload
I ain't missing you,
I ain't missing you,
I can lie to myself"
"(I Ain't) Missing You" by John Waite
101.5 is playing only 80s songs this weekend, which coincided well with a day of (relatively) heavy driving -- an impromptu jaunt to Erica's after my breakfast at one, then a shorter drive to Will's tonight. At the former, I saw The Big Lebowski and had some great dates (the shrivelly things with pits); at the latter, I watched Memento and played a lot of pool and darts. The stars were so enticingly clear and the air so comfortably calm that I felt guilty coming straight home, as if I were betraying my principles by failing to turn onto a side road and spend the last of my waking hours in astral raptures.
