At best, you will be left brokenhearted; at worst you may become an alcoholic or run yourself down to destruction. The Telltale Signs of Missing Someone Much as you may want to deny the fact that you are missing someone, you will find the obvious symptoms. Here are some that are dead giveaways: Sad songs make you cry. Romantic songs make you cry louder. It is not that you don’t love songs, but a pining heart can take it no more. The melody rips your heart, and the lyrics feel like a thousand daggers stabbing at you. Suddenly, you discover that you are a big fan of Amy Winehouse’s There is No Greater Love. You would like to crawl back into your cave. Bright lights, loud music, and laughter are your enemies. You prefer to stay away from every sort of company. You find yourself alone, even in a crowd. There are days when you just want to watch the sunset on the horizon, let the breeze ruffle your hair, and gaze at the ripples caused by raindrops. You either love to eat or hate to eat.

Those who feel the burden of a pining heart, escape by diving into hard work. Working extra hard may be the only way to distract your thoughts from the deep sense of void you feel inside.

This is easier said than done. But hurting yourself in the process of missing someone is no fun. If you are counting days until the next reunion, do something worthwhile and productive. Hit the gym. Learn a skill. Catch up with friends. Catch up with your reading list. Build a house. The opportunities are endless. You just need to get out of bed and spring into action. Write a Letter to Yourself. Trust me, it helps. Address an email to yourself and pour out your feelings. Don’t restrain your thoughts. Once you have poured out the venom, hit send. Now, sleep over it. The next day, read your email. You will find most of your feelings fairly irrational. Keep this as a memoir of your dark days. In the years to come, these letters will prove to be a great source for introspective learning. Say â€Å"I Miss You† With Grace You don’t lose face when you express feelings honestly.

Quote #1:Christina Rossetti:  I Loved You First: But Afterwards Your LoveI loved you first: but afterwards your loveOutsoaring mine, sang such a loftier songAs drowned the friendly cooings of my dove.Which owes the other most? my love was long,And yours one moment seemed to wax more strong;Quote #2:Angela Morgan:  ChoiceId rather have the thought of youTo hold against my heart,My spirit to be taught of youWith west winds blowing,Than all the warm caressesOf another loves bestowing,Or all the glories of the worldIn which you had no part.Quote #3:Sara Teasdale:  MayBeneath the apple blossomsI go a wintry way,For love that smiled in AprilIs false to me in May.Quote #4:Rainer Maria Rilke:  In Love SongAnd yet everything which touches us, you and me, takes us together like a single bow, drawing out from two strings but one voice. On which instrument are we strung? And which violinist holds us in the hand? O sweetest of songs.Quote #5:Emily Dickinson:  Heart! We Will Forget Him!H eart! We will forget him!You an I, tonight!You may forget the warmth he gave,I will forget the light.Quote #6:Pablo Neruda:  The Saddest PoemI can write the saddest poem of all tonight.Write, for instance: The night is full of stars,and the stars, blue, shiver in the distance.The night wind whirls in the sky and sings.I can write the saddest poem of all tonight.I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.
