I miss you

Wish you're here

I miss you expresses longing for someone who is absent—whether temporarily apart, far away, or gone from your life.

The phrase conveys that the person's absence creates a felt void: I miss you when you travel for work, I miss you so much it hurts.

It can be romantic, familial, or friendly, and ranges from casual sign-off to profound statement of loss.
