All the words that are written, whether they are “I miss you” quotes or lyrics have been intimately felt by those that wrote them.
Missing someone that you love or that feeling of longing can be intense. Whether you miss someone that is away at the moment or are missing them after a breakup, try to put the emotions in perspective.
Focus on the “now” and what is most important. We have a popular article on loneliness that may help with some specific situations.
This quote by John Green seems to sum it up pretty well “you can never love someone as much as you miss them” We only miss the memory that we choose of them.
Whether that memory was real or not. Sometimes we miss the person that we WISH they were, and miss what might have been.
Here are some quotes that can help you through a situation where you are missing someone. You can also send any of these quote to your significant other that you are missing.
But it also doesn’t need to be a relationship, it can well be a family member or a friend that you haven’t seen in a while that you are missing.
Remember the best memories but do not miss what never was….

Song Lyrics about Missing You
So often the lyrics of songs can explain how we feel. Listening to songs that fit our mood is a way to realize that we all have experienced the same emotions at some point.
Every time I think of you
I always catch my breath
And I’m still standing here
And you’re miles away
And I’m wondering why you left
And there’s a storm that’s raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time
Thinking about you
And it’s almost driving me wild
And that’s my heart that’s breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I ain’t missing you at all
Since you’ve been gone away
I ain’t missing you
No matter
What my friends say
Except from
“Missing You” John Waite
Sleepless hours and dreamless nights and far aways
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were here
Heaven knows and lord it shows when I’m away
Ooo ooo ooo, wishing you were here-
Except from
Chicago “Wishing you were here”
.
Though I’m missing you
(Although I’m missing you)
I’ll find a way to get through
(I’ll find a way to get through)
Living without you
Cause you were my sister, my strength, and my pride
Only God may know why, still I will get by
Who would’ve known, that you had to go
But so suddenly, so fast
How could it be, that a sweet memory worthy would
Be all that we’ve have plan
Now that you’re gone, every day I go on (I go on)
But life’s just not the same (life’s just not the same)
I’m so empty inside, and my tears I can’t hide
But I’ll try, I’ll try to face the pain
Except from
Missing You Gladys Knight, Chaka Khan
Since you’ve been away
I’ve been down and lonely
Since you’ve been away
I’ve been thinking of you
Trying to understand
The reason you left me
What were you going through?
I’m missing you
Tell me why the road turns
Ooh ooh
I’m missing you
Tell me why the road turns
As I look around
I see things that remind me
Just to see you smile
Made my heart fill with joy
I’ll still recall
All those dreams we shared together
Where did you run to, boy?
I’m missing you
Tell me why the road turns
Excerpt from
“Missing You” Diana Ross
Well, I’ve been haunted in my sleep
You’ve been starring in my dreams
Lord I miss you
I’ve been waiting in the hall
Been waiting on your call
When the phone rings
It’s just some friends of mine that say,
Excerpt from
“Miss you” Rolling Stones
I talk to you but it’s not the same as touchin’ you
And every time you whisper my name, I want to run to you
We’ll be together, it won’t be long, it won’t be long
But it feels like forever, and it’s hard to be strong
Baby ’cause I’m missing you now
And it’s drivin’ me crazy
How I’m needin’ you baby
I’m missing you now
Can’t wait ’till I’m alone with you
To show you how I’m missing you now
Wishin’ you were here by my side is all that I can do
Got my arms around my pillow at night, they should be holdin’ you
Thought I was stronger, how could I know, how could I know
I can’t take this much longer
It’s so hard on my soul
Excerpt from
“Missing you Now” Michael Bolton
