‘Tu me manques’

If you translated this french phrase into English, it simply means I miss you. Yet, it’s deeper than that, more complex. In french, it means you are missing from me, you’re part of me, you mean so much to me that you became part of me and losing you felt like losing something crucial to my existence. Losing you was like losing my heart, not in the cliche type of way but in the way that it’s a vital piece of me that is now missing from me that kept everything about me alive. You were the light that kept everything from being dark.
