You don't miss me as a person. You miss the attention and the feeling of having someone there for you.

"I miss you."

You don't miss me as a person. You miss the attention and the feeling of having someone there for you.

Missing someone means you miss who they are, their personality, their presence, the way they make you feel simply by being themselves. Missing the attention means you miss how they made you feel about yourself.

I never wanted to be just someone who filled the silence or made you feel less alone. I wanted to matter because of who I am. That’s why this hurts so much.
