Three words, for YOU

I miss you.

Three words, a lot of meaning. 

I normally would throw these words to my family, relatives or friends (varying degrees of closeness), and sometimes I just feel that I need to automatically said those words or reciprocate the same.

Until quarantine happened and is still happening.

If before, I'd utter these words in different ways - sometimes with partial emotion or with less enthusiasm. Now, I mean every word whenever I say it. I make sure that I am honest with how I feel too.

I respond based on what I trully feel. 

I remember years ago that I rarely say I miss you, not because I dont miss the person but I feel that when I say I miss you, it should be time appropriate too, like we haven't seen each other for months.

Until I've gotten used to saying it often - regardless if I feel it or was just half feeling it. Probably because I hear it a lot. It kind of became one of those office greetings, to be exact. 

I guess, forced isolation reminded me when to say the words properly again.

Especially -

I love you.

When you hear this from me, know that I mean it (so much).

The degree might also vary, but remember that I never say these words easily. 

To family, friends and so on...
