If you like being with someone, you miss that person when he or she is not there. You can say this to that person when you see each other again or, for example, you send a sweet text in which you express this in words.
Would you like to make it clear that you miss someone, but do this in a different way than usual? And not just say ‘ I miss you ‘ all the time? Then we will give you some other ways to do this. Read them through and see what you think is appropriate to do or say.
9 Ways to Say ‘I Miss You’
Instead of saying “I miss you,” you can express that you miss someone – without saying it with the exact “I miss you” words. If you want to add some variety to the things you say to your lover, you can use these phrases.
1. ‘I wish you were here’
With this sentence you make it clear that you miss someone’s presence. For example, has something happened that you would like to share with the other person? Then you can say, “I wish you were there too.” Or if it’s something that’s happening right now: “I wish you were here.”

2. ‘I keep thinking about you’
Another way to show that you miss someone is to say that you keep thinking about them. This way you clearly indicate that you don’t like it as much when the other person is not with you. You can say it by sending an app with this text, but you can also leave a subtle hint in the other person’s home.
3. ‘I’m counting the seconds until you’re back’
When you say that you count the seconds that the other person is with you, you also clearly indicate that you miss him or her. You let us know that time doesn’t seem to pass as quickly when your lover is not there. And there is only one reason for that: you want your sweetheart to be with you again soon so that you can be together.

4. ‘I keep looking at your photos’
When we miss people, we have the habit of looking at photos. Everyone knows and does that. It is nice for yourself to look at it, but this way the other person also knows immediately that you would prefer to see him or her in person.
5. ‘I dream of you’
To indicate that you miss the other person very much, you can also say that you dream about him or her. It is also not strange that you actually dream about the other person when you are in love. Your desire for the other is so great that you think about it during the day and even dream about it at night. This is a clear sign to the other person that you miss him or her.

6. ‘Everything reminds me of you’
If you say that everything reminds you of him or her, you are saying that you miss someone. It lets your lover know that you are constantly thinking about him or her, which is of course also the case when you miss someone very much. For example, if your loved one is abroad and you see things that remind you a lot of him or her, that would make you sad. Do you say this to the other person? Then he also knows that you miss being together very much.
7. ‘I’m counting the days until you’re back’
Is your lover far from home or does he or she have to leave for a certain period of time? Then you keep in touch, send each other messages and you probably also make video calls regularly. But that’s not the same as being together physically. If you indicate that you are counting the days until the other person returns, you indicate that you miss the other person.
8. ‘Will it take you long to get there?’
Do you regularly ask how long it will be before you see each other again, even though you know exactly how long that will be? Then you indicate that you miss the other person. It’s an enthusiastic way to say you’d like to see someone. Because of course you want nothing more than to have your sweetheart right in front of you again.

9. ‘I Can’t Sleep Without You’
If you are used to your partner or lover lying next to you in bed, it is difficult to lie in bed alone. If you indicate this, they will also know that you miss them. No one to cuddle with, sounds you normally never hear: sleeping alone is not the same without your regular partner in bed.
