tu me manques

On the surface, ‘Tu me manques’ means I miss you in English.

However, it has a deeper connotation to it, it’s more like you’re missing from me, you’re a part of me, you’re crucial to my existence, just like a limb, organ or blood.

(In French, the concept of missing is passive: you don’t miss someone but someone is missing to you.)

Sasha: “Tu me manques.”
(I miss you.)
Kev: “Tu me manques aussi.”
(I miss you too.)
