What I felt yesterday when I couldn't reach her, not the reaching itself, but the shape of that wanting, and what I notice about how I usually handle it: the impulse to soften the absence with something clever or warm. The gap that actually exists between us right now. What it would cost me to leave that gap there instead of filling it.
