Cute “I miss you” messages

  1. I miss you more than I miss my phone charger at 2%.

Deep & romantic

  1. Some days I don’t need anything. Just you, sitting next to me, saying nothing.
  2. I keep turning around to tell you things, and you’re not there.
  3. Missing you is the quietest kind of loud.
  4. It’s strange how a person can feel like home, and then the home is in a different city.

  8. Being without you isn’t lonely. It’s just less.
  9. Counting down until I can stop counting.
  10. I would choose a bad day with you over a perfect day without you.

Long-distance

  1. Same sky, different cities. Look up tonight — I am.
  2. Your time zone is my favourite one.
  3. Saving every “I wish you were here” for when you finally are.
  4. One more day crossed off. One day closer.
  5. I hate goodbyes at airports, but I love what comes after: the countdown.
  6. Can we fall asleep on call again tonight?
  7. Miles don’t matter when I can still hear you laugh.
  8. You’re far, but you’re never not with me.
  9. I miss you in the boring moments most — groceries, traffic, chai.
  10. Next time I see you, I’m not letting go for at least an hour.

Funny

  1. I miss you. Also I miss you paying for food.
  2. Without you, I have to laugh at my own jokes. It’s tragic.

  5. I’ve watched three episodes without you. Forgive me. Also come back.
  6. Missing you, but also you owe me one episode of catch-up.
  7. Nobody steals my fries anymore. Life has lost meaning.
  8. Stop being far away. That’s an order.
  9. I miss you more than the gym misses me.
  10. If missing you burned calories, I’d be in shape.

What do I text my boyfriend when I miss him?

Keep it honest and short — “I keep turning around to tell you things and you’re not there” — or playful, like “nobody steals my fries anymore”.
