Epiphany
I have crossed over from "missing my ex" into "being lonely."
It's horrible to want someone to call after a fight with a coworker-- someone to promise to love you even when you have bad days and are an idiot with people. And it's horrible to lie in bed in the dark with a migraine, bored but unable to look at anything, and not have someone who will read children's novels aloud to you until the nausea abates and you can fall asleep.
But it's wonderful to realize that what you want is just that: SOMEONE to call.
