The word 'miss' is missed!

So I'm going to talk about a certain word that I'm terribly filled with right now, but not in the capability of an expert though. Just in the simplest way that anyone would describe the same word, which is... *drumrolls.......*

miss.

The word miss have a lot of meanings, right? You can use it to describe that you didn't hit a target, or it can also be a noun for a girl or woman who haven't get married yet, or, as in my case, to describe the feeling of desiring someone else's presence. I don't know the origin of the word, but I think it is also used to describe the absence of something or someone.

Today, when I was in the bathroom taking a you-know-what, I kinda thought of the connection between the two meaning. You desire someone's presence when their presence is MISSING from you, right? So maybe, when someone says to you 'I miss you', maybe what it probably mean is her/his presence is being missed from your life by them (miss as in absent, or, idk, lost, maybe?). But then again, you probably would say 'I miss you too' in return so that would also mean that your presence is being missed from his/her. Well, to be not around someone is by choice of one or the other, or even both, right?

Wow, tough. Here, let me ease you up by sharing something about my language. In my language those meanings have their own word. Miss, as in desiring someone else's presence, which I talked about earlier, is 'kangen' or 'rindu' in Indonesian. Usually my language uses words that are being adopted from foreign language, such as music becomes musik, or escalator becomes eskalator. But not the word miss. Well I guess that's mean the feeling of missing someone gotta be a very ancient feeling.

Why the hell did I write about this, you ask (or not). My lovvve is in a remote place right now that he doesn't have signal to even text me... By signal I mean, literally. The communication transmission haven't cover the entire island of Kalimantan (Borneo, as you know it), so...voila, lack of communication. :(
