Vanilla Twilight

Its been a while, and I have to admit that is not on purpose...life gets crazy and I think we can all agree. But in this time, I have had time to reflect on what I want to write about, and here it goes. The title is is so because I was recently listening to a song by Owl City called "Vanilla Twilight", it talks about missing someone and wanting them close at hand. Relationship wise it is normal to miss someone when they leave, and many couples lean on the saying  "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" for comfort in those times spent apart. My question is, fonder physically or fonder emotionally? It is easy to miss them physically, such a tangible thing is simple and effortless almost to miss...but as we go about our days alone without our significant other, its one thing to miss holding their hand at the grocery store or having a date night out on the town. Its another thing, and to me the more important thing to miss is the emotional, spiritual and social attachment you have to them, sure you can go to the grocery store with a girl friend or have a group dinner, but the interactions and bond with your friends should be different from that of your boyfriend,fiance, husband or what not. Fondness, loyalty, closeness and devotion to that person is what you should find yourself yearning for. I guess what I'm getting at is, it is wonderful to have a physical connection with someone, but the spiritual and emotional partnership should be easy to continue when apart, and perhaps what you look forward to when you see them next.
