I Feel It All

Here's a question, well, a series of questions, probably.

Why do we miss people?
Not like "shoot, I just missed you" but the heartwrenching unidentifiable, but unmistakable pain resulting in someone leaving your life ... sometimes even while they're still standing right next to you?
And how do we miss people?

I want to know about the psychology behind missing someone AND the biology involved. What is the cause of this. What IS that feeling of "missing"? Is it a neural synapse? Is it a thought? Is it some sort of spasm? What causes it? And why?

Also. Why do we miss some people more than others? Why can I spend 7 days nonstop with person A and then spend 7 days nonstop with person B and at the end of the 7 days, I say goodbye to person A, and we have had quite a delightful time full of good conversation and honesty, but parting is no trouble. Whereas with person B, I could have equally good conversation, or no conversation at all, or only talk about ... farting or childhood and yet when the time has come to say "goodbye," I feel like I'd rather just go to sleep forever and never wake up again. What causes that? Why do some people we form a deep attachment, even if circumstances are completely equal, and some others we have an affection for, but not attachment?

I don't normally try to find the answers to these questions or think about them too much because, like right now, I tend to really go a little insane because I think and think and think and come to no answer or conclusion whatsoever.

Anyway. Does anyone know? Does anyone else ask?

I Feel It All
Feist

I feel it all I feel it all
I feel it all I feel it all
The wings are wide the wings are wide
Wild card inside wild card inside

Oh I'll be the one who'll break my heart
I'll be the one to hold the gun

I know more than I knew before
I know more than I knew before
I didn't rest I didn't stop
Did we fight or did we talk

Oh I'll be the one who'll break my heart
I'll be the one to hold the gun

I love you more
I love you more
I don't know what I knew before
But now I know I wanna win the war

No one likes to take a test
Sometimes you know more is less
Put your weight against the door
Kick drum on the basement floor
Stranded in a fog of words
Loved him like a winter bird
On my head the water pours
Gulf stream through the open door
Fly away
Fly away to what you want to make

I feel it all, I feel it all
I feel it all I feel it all
The wings are wide, the wings are wide
Wild card inside, wild card inside

Oh I'll be the one to break my heart
I'll be the one who'll break my heart
I'll be the one who'll break my heart
I'll end it thought you started it

The truth lies
The truth lied
And lies divide
Lies divide
