Missing
中西保志 Lyrics

The lyrics of 中西保志's "Missing" describe the feelings of a person who is deeply in love and yearning for someone they can't be with or who is no longer there. The singer laments that although the two of them share a special connection that is palpable in their hearts, they cannot be together, and that their meeting perhaps should have happened sooner. The lyrics are full of longing and regret, and the singer expresses the pain of missing someone they love, even though they wish they could forget them.

The first verse opens with an admission of how difficult it is to express what the singer feels, and how, if they could put it into words, it might make it easier to bear. The shaking eyes of the person they long for speak to them, and they wish they could have met earlier. In the chorus, the singer notes the impossibility of their situation but also acknowledges that they cannot forget the person they love, that everything about them is missed. If only it were possible, the singer would hold them close in the light of day and the dark of night. The second verse describes the feeling of being caught by the other person's gaze and unable to move, and how the singer wishes they were embraced by them. The chorus repeats the desire to hold them close, and the final verse ends with a declaration that if the person they love were with them, they would run to meet them.

In all, "Missing" is a moving ballad that captures the feeling of yearning deeply and missing someone they care about. The sense of loss and regret throughout the lyrics is palpable, and the desire to remember everything while also wishing they could forget it all is a theme throughout the song. Despite the pain of missing someone they love, the singer's hope and longing are clear, and the song speaks to anyone who has ever experienced the deep yearning of wanting someone they cannot have.
