I'm never sad, and I don't think about you. Except for when I go to sleep, or wake up.
I never pray for you, or want to be with you. Except for when I'm eating or driving.
I never worry about you, or wonder how you're doing. Except for during the air raid alerts or when things are calm.
I'm doing perfectly fine, and I don't miss you at all. Except for when you're not here.

I Get Along Without You Very Well by Hoagy Carmichael
I get along without you very well,
of course I do...
except when soft rains fall and drip from leaves,
then I recall the thrill of being sheltered in your arms,
of course I do...
But I get along without you very well.
I've forgotten you, just like I should,
of course I have...
except to hear your name
or someone's laugh that is the same.
But I've forgotten you just like I should.
What a guy!
What a fool am I!
to think my breaking heart could kid the moon...
What's in store?
Should I phone once more?
No, it's best that I stick to my tune.
I get along without you very well,
of course I do...
except perhaps in spring...
but I should never think of spring
for that would surely
break my heart in two

I guess it's the sort of thing where you get to miss someone you love, and you'll just always miss them, because you'll always love them.
