The one you love might be at a distance or may have distanced themselves from you, but in both cases, missing someone you love is inevitable. Missing someone can be painful because love, when unfulfilled, turns into longing. It’s the battle between holding on to the past and accepting the present.

When you miss someone, it’s not just their presence you long for, you miss everything about them. Their smile, their laughter, the way they spoke to you, the way they looked at you, and most importantly, the way they made you feel. Memories of them play like a slideshow, one after the other, bringing heartache and tears.

In those moments, you either want to reach out to them, but they’re not there, or you wish to share your feelings with someone who understands. If Instagram is your go-to place for expressing deep emotions and you're searching for the perfect words to capture the feeling of missing someone, look no further.
