Why do we say "I miss you"?

When someone is missing

Why do we say “I miss you”?

Why does the phrase exist?

Well, today I breathed a heavy sigh

And I wondered why it passed my lips

And instantly I remembered

What my soul never forgot

I remembered that you are missing from me

I remembered that you are lost

And that is why we say we “miss”

Sometimes someone becomes a part of you

And when they are gone

Somehow those parts of you are, too
