114 I Miss You Quotes For When You’re Missing Someone Special
Missing someone you love can be so hard.
Unsplash Missing someone — and I mean really, really missing someone — is one of the worst feelings, plain and simple.
That person could be gone for one day or a few weeks and it can still feel like an eternity. And let me tell you, when you start to miss someone as soon as they leave, you’ve got it bad.
Deep love like this means a lot of things; you have a more positive outlook on life, you are willing to try new things (as long as your man does, too), and you start thinking about the future, even if the idea growing old together used to freak you out.
Being this connected to a person can also mean that missing them almost feels like a broken heart, which is where these "I miss you"quotes come in handy.
For all those times when communication just doesn’t seem like enough, the best love quotes can put words to your feelings and make it easier to deal with until you can see him again.
Missing someone might seem like it’s more than you can handle, but looking forward to the next time you can be together (instead of feeling hopeless because you’re lonely now) is the best way to cheer you both up.
If you're missing someone you love, here are 114 "I miss you" quotes to send in sweet texts and remind him or her how much you care.
