I Miss You

“I miss you, my dear…” said Jack with a soft voice.

When somebody appears in the mind, instantly we know we’re thinking or missing somebody. But do we really miss somebody at all? Or it is just a moment of feel or thought that passes by. People come in and out of our lives yet they just left footprints of memories in us. Thus, we started to think through the wonderful days back then and recap all the beautiful pictures and the things that we did and shared. It does feel wonderful to think of all the happiness that have passed, because somehow you would wish time has never gone forward and had hope it would stay the same forever. So that is when we started to say “I miss you”.

Honestly, it does feel really bad and terrible to miss somebody for real. The feeling in the heart is just saddened when you miss that person so much that you wish to him or her. Some requires a little patience yet you’ll be able to see him or her, but yet some may not even get to see the person they really miss. Often, we thought we miss somebody but yet it is because of the sadness we feel while missing someone then we would tell ourselves to forget it and not to suffer and endure the sadness of missing somebody, which is just a little sad because we do not wish to sadden ourselves for the sake of somebody. Hence, we start to forget and slowly the memory would just fade away. It is a good thing to miss people at times because it keeps your relationship with that person to become even stronger, and would even realize how valuable he or she means to you. It is now just the mind that thinks of the person you miss but it actually is the heart because of sincerity and heartiest modesty towards the person you really miss.

People may often tell others that they miss them verbally, but did they actually mean it? Most people would say it verbally as they are required to do so in order to make the other happy because they feel it is important to say “I miss you” even though they don’t miss at all in the heart. Yet, the person who is being missed would be very happy to hear somebody is actually missing him or her. But what that person didn’t know is the truth of not meaning what the other person has said. Hence, it would be hurt for sure to know when people actually don’t miss you but they say for the sake of saying it. It is sad to see people acting that way and treating their friends or love ones this way, because it shows how invaluable the relationship that person is. Some people, of course, actually mean a lot to some people in their own ways but yet they would really happy to know their important ones are actually missing them. Missing people is to think and wonder somebody that has meant something to you, it can be anything for sure as it is up to you to classify it. Yet, some people even cry when they miss somebody too much because they just get too emotional as the person they miss actually means a lot to them. Hence, we would be able to tell how sincere a person is when he or she is missing that particular person.

The fake ones, of course, you can by the moment they say “I miss you” without the right expression and thus feels really lame and meaningless, it can be felt in the heart indeed. But for those who actually mean it, you can tell from his or her eyes right away in the very moment they see you and would soon start with a hug or cry to tell you they miss you. Always remember, actions speak a lot louder than words. This is important to bear in mind because we do not wish to do things and carry it as a burden. It has to be with felt in heart with sincerity that feels really natural, not forcing yourself to do so. If a person does feel it’s a burden, then it would be best to be honest. Honesty may kill or hurt somebody, but the pain is short rather than lying that creates a long agony pain in the end. People do not wish to be hurt for sure but it is best to be honest with because they would feel even better rather than being cheated. Hence, it would be really meaningless to say “I miss you” without a heart.

It is important to tell your love ones or important ones you miss them, because it shows the supports and strength you give to their lives. It is not a sad thing to miss people though it feels really hard to miss somebody and not able to see them, but look on the bright side because it make the other half feel really happy when you let him or her know you miss him or her. At least that would bright them up in a way that they know they are being cared and missed, hence you would also feel as part on the importance in a relationship because of the moral supports you give in. In return, you would probably get something that will even strengthen your life knowing the other half is missing you and hence you’re not even out of somebody’s life which actually means you are important to them as well. Even if it feels hard to miss somebody and you feel it saddens you most of the time, hence you start to tell yourself to forget them because the pain is too much. Soon, this would be from “I miss you” to “I remember you” because once you stop missing that person eventually the bonds would just break and no longer attach. From an important person to a memory of a portrait of a passer by, that is even sadder when you know you’re soon to be forgotten. That is also how some relationship when they stop thinking about their love ones because they think it saddens them and perhaps even a waste of their time. Of course, it saddens you when you just keep it in the heart and not letting it out. It’s keeping a cat in the cage for ten years which it would go insane! Thus, it is always best and appropriate to be honest as there’s no harm in confessing at all. It doesn’t torture you mentally if you’re being honest and speak out, but it is more mentally and psychologically torture when you just keep it within yourself which is why some people gets really emotional and able to cry for hours or days and feel really depress.

Thus, if you are really missing somebody now go ahead and take a breath to tell them with sincerity and honesty. Let them know how much they mean to you because they are indeed a part of your life in this lifetime where as you only live once. You’ll never know what’s gonna happen tomorrow, and therefore it would be great to treasure all the little things around you. Miss or miss really badly, brace yourself and let him or her know because there’s no regret in doing this, “I Miss You”.
