All I can do now

So I told him that Alyissa and I were leaving on our Edmonton trip last night. I hadn't talked to him in a while but you know, I like letting people know if I'm going to be gone or not. Anyway, here is how I finished my little offline message:

"If I don't talk to you before then...I love you and wish you every happiness. I hope you take that as sincerely as I meant it and not as cheesy as it reads."

It wasn't meant to sound like a goodbye but I think at the time that's all I could felt I could give him, even if he hadn't said hello.

Is that all I can do now, wish him every happiness? It's that dull ache I haven't felt in a long time; not overpowering the happiness and joy of my life, but...an ache all the same.
