Every parting is a form of death, as every reunion is a type of heaven.
Tryon Edwards
When I go away from you
The world beats dead
Like a slackened drum....
Amy Lowell
Life is so short, so fast the lone hours fly, We ought to be together, you and I.
Henry Alford
As contraries are known by contraries, so is the delight of presence best known by the torments of absence.
Alcibiades
Oft in the tranquil hour of night,
When stars illume the sky,
I gaze upon each orb of light,
And wish that thou wert by.
George Linley
Days of absence, sad and dreary,
Clothed in sorrow's dark array, -
Days of absence, I am weary;
She I love is far away.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
You left, and my heart is a ceaseless sermon of loneliness.
Jaesse Tyler
In true love the smallest distance is too great, and the greatest distance can be bridged.
Hans Nouwens
The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected.
Nicholas Sparks
What shall I do with all the days and hours
That must be counted ere I see thy face?
How shall I charm the interval that lowers
Between this time and that sweet time of grace?
Frances Anne Kemble
I keep coming back to you in my head, but you couldn't know that, and I have no carbons.
Adrienne Rich
I am tired, Beloved,
of chafing my heart against
the want of you;
of squeezing it into little inkdrops,
And posting it.
Amy Lowell
I dropped a tear in the ocean. The day you find it is the day I will stop missing you.

To die and part is a less evil; but to part and live, there, there is the torment.
George Lansdowne
In the hope to meet
Shortly again, and make our absence sweet.
Ben Jonson
The joy of meeting pays the pangs of absence; else who could bear it?
Nicholas Rowe
Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. Then we would have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos.
Charles M. Schulz
Where'er I roam, whatever realms to see,
My heart untravelled, fondly turns to thee;
Still to my brother turns, with ceaseless pain,
And drags at each remove a lengthening chain.
Oliver Goldsmith, The Traveller
Missing someone gets easier every day because even though it's one day further from the last time you saw each other, it's one day closer to the next time you will.
Author Unknown
We only part to meet again.
John Gay
She went her unremembering way,
She went and left in me
The pang of all the partings gone,
And partings yet to be.
Francis Thompson
