35 I Miss You Quotes for Her

The ironic thing about this one is that if you, say, text her in the middle of her work day, or right after you’ve been on the phone, it will make her smile and come down with the warm fuzzies on the spot. Not as good as being together, but not a bad substitute.

There are times when I’d give anything just to be able to gaze into your eyes or hold you in my arms, even for a few minutes. I always feel incomplete, like a part of me is missing, when we’re not together. I know that right now this is how things have to be, but that doesn’t make it any easier to bear. Every day without you just reminds me of the joy you add to my lie, joy that I’m missing. So don’t forget that I love you, that I’m thinking of you, and that I’m counting every minute until we’re together again.
Admit it, guys: you aren’t always great at talking about your feelings. Also admit: your lady would love if you did more often. This is a good message to show her your soft side and proclaim your love at the same time.

How’s this for a good morning or good night message when you’re counting down the days?

That said, you might say this to her right before she goes off to do her own thing for the night, wishing, herself, that you were there. You still want her to live her life when you’re not around, of course.

…I will not forget you. You have touched my soul, opened my eyes, changed my very experience of the universe. I will not forget you. I see you in the flowers, the sunset, the sweep of the horizon and all things that stretch to infinity. I will not forget you. I have carved you on the palm of my hand. I carry you with me forever. – Ellen Sue Stern

A woman wrote this and that’s probably a good thing. When your girl misses you, she might also be feeling insecure, hoping that you miss her just as much, hoping she’s still your top priority. Let her know, for sure.

When you love the person attached to them, any pair of eyes becomes the most beautiful you have ever seen. And is there any set of eyes more grounding to look at than your love’s?

If you’re missing her so much, she must mean a lot to you. You must have a strong connection and an important relationship. Honor that as much as you honor her.

This starts out both sad and relatable, but comes back to hope, and the power of love. It hits on both the bitter and the sweet of bittersweet, so it’s the perfect message for a girl you miss.

This one will give her butterflies AND something very concrete to look forward to when you see each other again.

It’s easy to support and love someone you see all the time (comparatively at least) so really, you most likely do love harder if you aren’t together all the time. You have to be more creative and more vocal and communicate better. Hey, give yourselves credit for that!

No matter how good it is, no matter the memories you make, you’ll always be wishing for more. Sad, but true. Letting her know you feel that way is still a good way to affirm your love.

Skype is an awesome program but having a great way to communicate with your far-away girlfriend barely puts a dent in the distance. What it does do? Remind you of how great she is. Remind you of how special she is to you, and how wonderful it is to have her in your life.

That smell might be her perfume, her soap, her shampoo, or even that specific brand of laundry detergent she uses. It might be many things, but (and I don’t know if this is actually true but it feels that way) they say scent is the strongest sense tied to our memories. My boyfriend always notices the smell of my shampoo after I shower or take my hair down from a bun, so I could see him saying this to me when I’ve been away for a week.

Plain and simple for when she’s sad at your absence. You’re not going to forget or get sick of waiting. You miss her and you’re waiting for her.

As much as it hurts in those first few days you’re without someone, it’s a fact that we still have to go on with life, go to work or school or whatever. It still hurts, but you find a way. Every once in a while, though, your special girl’s absence sneaks up on you and hurts all over again because you wish she were drinking her coffee next to you, or people watching in a restaurant with you, or holding your hand under a table when you’re out with your mutual friends. Sound about right?

This is mostly a rhetorical question, and also a plea for change: why don’t men feel as inclined to send casual selfies as women are? Guys, don’t you love it when your girlfriend sends you cute pictures of herself, like, “Hi, here I am, I’m cute, thought you’d like to see that.” Yes. Yes you do. Why do men on the whole only send selfies to girls they aren’t actually dating?

PRO TIP, GENTLEMEN: Don’t be shy with that. Next time you look in the mirror and think you look great, pull our your phone, take a frowny selfie, and send it to your ladyfriend with this caption. First of all, you do look hot, especially to her, and she will appreciate both your hotness and the self-aware silliness of the message. I know it takes a little confidence to do this, but you have a girl you adores you, so you should already be confident.

Isn’t that exactly why you’re going through the difficulty of being apart?

It probably can feel impossible sometimes, when you’re both missing each other so, so badly and can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. When either one of you feels this way, or when you both feel this way, look at the bigger picture, and see if you don’t find a glimmer of hope there.

-John Keats

This is a short one, but it says a lot, beautifully, in few, simple words. Short phrases sort of leave you wanting more, much like missing someone.

Maybe you will do all the most awesome stuff ever when you’re together. Or maybe making up for lost time means snuggling harder than you have ever snuggled before. No matter what it means for you, the time you spend together is all that much more precious because it is limited.

Remember to look at the big picture and recognize that just because your normal is not everyone else’s, it is yours, and you’re in it for the long haul.

it is for the bold.
it is for those who are willing
to spend a lot of time alone
in exchange for a little time
with the one they love.
it is for those knowing a good thing
when they see it, even if
they don’t see it nearly enough.

Seriously. It takes a big, strong heart to be parted from the one you love and keep it together. These words are for both of you to share.

When someone is all of those things to you, that’s someone very worth missing. Remind her of everything she is to you, and that you have to bear the pain of missing all of it.

Of course you have to go about your business as normal: the world does not stop because you miss someone. On occasion, you may get so busy you barely talk all day. It just happens! Let her know exactly why.

Going to sleep and waking up alone when you miss someone: those moments are especially sad. Those are the moments you really miss, even if you don’t miss anything specific about them. It’s as plain as having her heartbeat in the same room.

-A.A. Milne

Okay, this is sort of cutesy and sappy, but a lot of us have soft spots for childhood favorites. And there’s a fair bit of wisdom in some of those childhood classics!

…I miss your smell. I miss your hug. I miss your jokes. I miss how you made me feel. I miss your everything.

You miss every detail all on its own, and the whole, as well. Missing the details makes the pain that much more real.

Maybe you guys tend to play it cool and try not to dwell on how much you miss each other. Maybe you feel like doing that too much is too angsty. If that’s you but you still want to send her a message to let her know you miss her, this is a good one. It’s quick and plain and honest without being too much, even for the least emotional couples.

And it’s every day, not just some days.

You want the big stuff and the little stuff all the same. Tell her how much detail there is in how you miss her!

A good and simple quote for whenever one or both of you is just plain bummed out to be apart.

This one has a bit of a timeless, old-fashioned feel to it, doesn’t it? Even if this isn’t something you would usually say, it works because it’s like you’re borrowing from a story.

Don’t ever let her wonder if you’re looking at other girls, wondering whether or not the distance is worth it, or anything else. Tell her often that you miss her and want to be with her.

-Lemony Snicket

This is a great one if your lady is a little bookish or nerdy. Even if she doesn’t ready Lemony Snicket, there’s something storylike and dreamy about this way of expressing that you miss someone.

If you can’t be there to hug her or wipe away her tears, the best thing you can do is make her laugh. That you can do from any distance.

A text message like this one will surely sweep her off her feet!

This is such a romantic thing to say to her and show her you remember your first talks and moments together.

A great quote by Mark Anthony. A guy who can’t be without you and just so excited to see you is a guy to keep!
