"John Adams"
MISSING YOU by John Waite
Lyrics and Video:

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 wondering' 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 thinking' 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
Chorus:
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
(chorus)
I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you, I can lie to myself
And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight
(chorus)
Ain't missing you, I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you, I can lie to myself
Ain't missing you, I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you, ain't missing you, oh no
No matter what my friends might say, I ain't missing you..
Twenty-five years ago today:
June 24, 1985
Monday
Dale confronted me with all sorts of tidbit facts that only Rachelle could have told him with regard to past journal entries (that she has already read). Ironically, she asks me to feel confident with her and not discuss personal matters with Dale. Yet, she is the one discussing personal matters with him!
Tomorrow is Ryan Hargave’s birthday. I need to shop for him tonight. Perhaps I will do so after my gym workout.
I could not wait until this work day was over. I wanted to see Rachelle. She started a new job in San Ramon today.
I went to the gym and Bob Maloney greeted me with a big “Hello!” Rachelle didn’t even go to the gym tonight. Oh well. I met a twenty-one year old girl named Kelly. She’s cute. We exchanged more than the typical few words. As a matter of fact I met her at the same Nautilus machine where I met Rachelle. It happened like this:
“Are you finished with that machine,” I asked politely.
“Yes, I am.”
“Great, I have to complement you on your professionalism on using this machine by the way.”
“Oh, Thanks.”
Then, as Kelly was working on the ‘stomach-on-the-sides’ machine I stood there waiting for her to finish her repetitions. We began to talk a bit more.
“It’s so crowded tonight,” she said.
“Yeah, and the more people the more wear and tear on these machines.”
“That’s true,” she smiled in agreement.
“By the way, my name is Michael.”
“I’m Kelly.”
We both continued our workouts. Then I bumped into her again while she was on the Life Cycle. I just happened to get on the Life Cycle next to her.
“Getting on this bike next to you was all good planning on my part,” I said.
She simply laughed aloud.
We didn’t talk a whole lot. It surprised me when she asked her question.
“How old are you?”
“Oh…I’m twenty-six.”
“And how could you be named Kelly when CHARLIES ANGELS didn’t come on the air until you were a mere child,” I said jokingly.
“I wasn’t a child then. I’m twenty-one.”
“Then you were a child when it first came on the air,” I said with smile.
Later she said, “Goodbye” when she left the women’s locker area, passed me and walked out of the gym.
I nodded. I was still on the Life Cycle.
When I departed from the gym I headed for mom’s house for a few. Ashley was there. She seemed afraid of me at first. Is it because she hadn’t seen me in so long? Then she started smiling again. I guess she started to remember her Uncle again.
While I was back at my home I heard that Rachelle telephoned (via a recorded message). I returned her call.
“Where were you last night?”
Her tone was such that she expected me to confess some ill-forsaken happening. I told her the truth.
“I was watching that movie with my mom.”
“That’s funny. I called your mom’s house.”
“No, you didn’t!”
She believed me after a while but she kept trying to make me give another story. What a sneaky wench! It’s a good thing I was at mom’s house.
I went to bed not long after the phone call with Rachelle. It was cute how we were both saying how much we missed and love each other. It’s our first non-consecutive day where we didn’t see each other. The John Waite song “Missing You” from last year comes to mind.
No one can live without others.
