It’s simple — I miss you…

Missing someone is probably one of the worst feelings you can experience. It’s not something you can see, it’s extremely hard to avoid it. Even if you try to work hard so that you won’t have the time to think about that person, it still doesn’t work.

But what do we actually miss — the person itself or the memories we shared together? Personally, I miss both. While writing this, I am thinking about one particular person who came in my life out of nowhere but managed to find a place in my life. We shared a lot of good and bad moments together, I think we even built a friendship. We had different points of view on many subjects but somehow found the balance every time (even though both of us are quite stubborn).

Due to the circumstances, however, we drifted apart. We still had many calls and endless texts but, over time, that stopped as well. You’d say: ‘Well, each one of you moved on with their lives, found new friends and that’s it, there is no reason for you to continue talking.’ Well, I strongly disagree.

I am this type of person who thinks that people come into your life for a reason. I don’t think that it is so easy to just forget someone just because you moved on with your life and have new friends. So, once in a while, I really miss this person — both as the person itself as well as the memories we shared. I miss the voice and the laugh when I say something stupid (believe me, that happened a lot of times), all the serious and not so serious talks we used to have.

It is funny how you can just see something online or find a song that just reminds you of that person you miss so much. I experience this a lot, whether it’s just an article I found or a song I listened to and would have gladly shared. I won’t lie, we still keep in touch once in a while but we both just seem too distant. I don’t know if it’s my pride or stubbornness or both but I don’t think I’ll be able to admit to that person that just once in a while I really, really miss him.

I might be exaggerating with all this but that’s who I am — a bit more sensitive than I am probably supposed to be. I really hope, though, that sooner or later I will have the chance to talk with that person again because that is definitely something important that is missing in my life.

Bottom line, never lose touch with the people you care about. Even though sometimes it’s really hard, just a simple: ‘’Hey, how are you doing?’’ can make someone’s day a hundred times better. It’s the small gesture that matters.
