On May 6th, 2026, I released my song “Missing You.”
This song is special to me because it was one of the first songs I ever wrote. At the time, I was still trying to figure out what direction I wanted to go musically. I didn’t fully know what my sound was yet, or what kind of artist I was becoming. I just knew I had something I needed to say.
And what came out was longing.
When I first sat down to write “Missing You,” I was writing from a place of having to say goodbye to someone I didn’t want to lose. It was one of those goodbyes that doesn’t just happen in a moment. It lingers. It follows you around. It changes the way everything feels.
The lyrics came from that place:
“Time won’t heal, won’t it, can’t undo…
I’m missing you…”
That line captures the feeling of knowing time is supposed to make things easier, but sometimes it doesn’t feel like it can. Sometimes time passes, but the ache stays right where it was. You move through the days, but part of you is still standing in the moment where everything changed.
Another lyric that really holds the heart of the song is:
“Shadows fall where the light once grew…”
That line means a lot to me because it describes how someone’s absence can change the emotional landscape around you. A person can bring light into your life without you fully realizing how much until they’re gone. Then suddenly, the places that felt warm feel different. Quieter. Heavier. Like something is missing even when everything else looks the same.
“Missing You” was written before I had fully found my musical direction, but that is also what makes it important. It was part of the beginning. It was one of the songs that helped me understand what I naturally write about: emotion, distance, attachment, memory, and all the words that sometimes never get said out loud.
This song came from a real place. It came from missing someone deeply. It came from the confusion of wanting someone to stay, knowing they had to leave, and trying to make sense of what was left behind.
Even though I’ve written so many songs since then, “Missing You” still holds a piece of where everything started.
It is honest.
It is vulnerable.
And it still hurts in the way only certain memories can.
“Missing You” is out now on all streaming services. 🎶
