Missing You Messages for When You're Apart

Missing someone is a sign of closeness, and saying so is a gift, as long as it feels warm and not heavy.

The balance

A good missing-you message says "I care" without saying "I'm unhappy because you're gone".

Sample messages

Short

"Missing you today."

Warm

"I keep turning to tell you something and remembering you're not here. Can't wait to see you."

Playful

"My coffee is not the same without you. Come back soon."

Specific

"I miss your terrible jokes. Send me one?"

Hopeful

"Counting down the days. Only five to go."

Different kinds of distance

• A day apart: keep it light.
• A work trip: share small details of your day.
• Long distance: plan regular calls and visits, and send messages that look forward.

Share, don't just miss

Combine missing with sharing:

"Saw a street you'd love. Wish you were here to see it."

Avoid guilt

• Skip lines like "You never call me."
• Avoid dwelling on how hard it is.
• Show you trust them.

Plan something

A message with a plan eases the ache:

"Friday night call, same time? I'll bring the tea."

Tips

1. Say it simply.
2. Share your day too.
3. Look forward to meeting.
