'I'm Gonna Miss You!'

I keep hearing that phrase. It gets tossed my way quite often these days. And when I am confronted with this phrase, I awkwardly fumble for a response. The anticipation of moving is still so thrilling for me, that I haven't mentally addressed the 'missing' aspect of it. I guess I will miss it here, and will miss the people I am leaving behind, but I can't even see that right now. Hence, my awkward response of 'oh, yeah.....' coupled with a big, overly done, and prolonged grin. I suppose I should reply with an, I will miss them too, but right now, that remark feels forced and false. Because my tunnel vision is set on new horizons, bright prospects and a fresh perspective. So, I guess I'll cross the 'I'll miss you too' bridge when I get there.
