Missing someone is our heart's way of reminding us that we love someone special
It is tough to miss someone you love. The sadness is overwhelming. You feel exhausted because you think about her all time. You feel frustrated for not being able to do something about it. And you feel depressed for feeling all of the above.
Having strong feelings for someone is hard enough as it is. But being away from her just drives up the emotional roller-coaster. There is nothing that prepares us in this world from separation with someone you truly adore. It’s totally different from that time when you first left home from the grasps of your family to study in the university.
That is not to say that you love your parents and siblings any less, but when it comes to missing someone your heart pines for, the loneliness is magnified. This is, after all, the person that you want to be with all the time. You want to hug and kiss her, and never leave her side.
For the past few months, Lizzy, the love of my life, has had this effect on me. Every time we talk on the phone just magnifies my need to be with her. I have felt this so much and so often that I have went out of my way to see her four times in the past few months. Home is where the heart is. And in Lizzy’s case, I truly feel it.
She is the source of my happiness. When I’m with her, I feel complete and contented. I have never felt this way before even in my previous relationships. Lizzy totally gets me in all aspects. This girl makes me laugh, think, love and aspire to be better. Never in my life have I loved someone so much.
Which is why it eats my soul that we can’t be together. It is what it is. I have told her before that I have no expectations and there is no pressure whatsoever. But I can’t lie that I do want to be with Lizzy. I want her to be with me always. I want her in my life now and in my future.
There is indeed a silver living in all of these whirlwind of emotions. That feeling of missing someone is an indication of truly loving that person. I love to have that feeling only to remind me that I have someone special in my life that I truly, truly love.
So it’s OK to miss someone even if it alternately brings happiness and sadness. Missing someone is our heart’s way of reminding us that we love someone special. We will only be able to feel how strong our love is for that special person when you’re apart.
