Top Ten Songs About Missing Someone and Letting Someone You Love Go

-

 

Because sometimes the heart doesn’t move on—it just learns how to carry the weight better.

Whether you’re in the middle of goodbye, still waiting on closure, or just trying to breathe through the memories... these songs get it. Every lyric feels like something you wanted to say but never did.

🎧 From 10 to 1, here's what it sounds like when love lingers… even after it ends:


10. Jordin Sparks – Tattoo


“You’re still a part of everything I do…”
A soft but lasting ache — the mark love leaves, even when it’s gone.


9. Shane Filan – I Can’t Get Over You


Some loves stay stuck on repeat, no matter how far you run.

8. Fireboy DML – God Only Knows


When you love deep and silent — but fate still pulls you apart.

7. Teddy Swims – Northern Lights


That rare connection… and the pain of watching it fade like a dream you can’t get back.

6. Jaes – Part of Me


When it’s not just about missing someone — it’s realizing they became a piece of you.

5. Ruth B x Dean Lewis – 28


Two hearts, one age, and a love that couldn’t last. Still hurts like yesterday.


4. Lloyiso – Seasons


The cycle of love, loss, and waiting for a new beginning. Raw, beautiful, painful.


3. Ashley Kutcher – Love You From a Distance


Sometimes loving someone means letting them go — and learning to do it from afar.


2. Shawn Mendes – It’ll Be Okay


For when you’re trying to be strong for the both of you. Breaking, but still loving.


1. James Arthur – A Year Ago



No other song captures the weight of grief, longing, and the kind of love time doesn’t touch.


Add these to your playlist. Or don’t.
Just know you’re not alone if you’ve ever had to let go of someone who still lives in your heart.


For Empress, always.

— Jaes

The Kind of Love That Breaks You

-

  There’s a kind of love that’s deeper than words. The kind where, when they hurt, you’d do anything— anything —to take their place. You see them in pain, and somehow,  you  start apologizing… saying you’re sorry for what they’re going through, even though it’s not your fault. Because they don’t deserve an ounce of it. That’s the love I had for Empress. My sister. My best friend. My person. When she first fell ill, it didn’t seem serious. It was “just anemia,” they said. We all thought she’d be fine in a couple weeks— she  thought so too. But weeks went by, and she didn’t get better. I remember the day she left home to get admitted. I cried so much, I made myself sick the next day. I cried with one prayer on my lips: “God, if anything is going to happen to her, take me instead.” And I meant every word. A world without my sister wasn’t a world I wanted to live in. We argued a lot—don’t get it twisted—but no one had my back like her. No one  knew  me l...

💔 “What Would You Say to Her?”

-

  — A Letter I Wasn’t Ready to Write Someone asked me a question the other day. Simple words. Soft tone. “If you had the chance to see Empress again… what would you say?” At first, I smiled. The kind of smile that escapes before your chest realizes how much it hurts to imagine. For a second, I saw her. I felt her. I pictured myself running up to her, wrapping her in the tightest hug, and never letting go. The kind of hug that says,  I’m sorry ,  I miss you , and  please don’t go again , all at once. And then, in my mind, I broke down — not just crying, but sobbing in that raw, uncontrollable way grief knows too well.   But when it came time to answer the question, I couldn’t. I stammered. My throat dried up. My words got stuck in a traffic jam of emotions I’ve never been able to fully explain.   Because how do you speak to someone who was your  life , your calm, your person… …when you know you only have a few minutes? When you know this imaginary ...

🖤 Grief Doesn’t Expire

  🖤  Grief Doesn’t Expire I’m just 28 years old, but I don’t think I’ve ever experienced anything harder than trying to move on from losing my sister. And I’m not sure I ever truly will.   Grief doesn’t expire. It doesn’t clock out. It doesn’t gently fade like they say it will. Some days, I wake up thinking I’ve made progress — like I’ve learned to carry the loss a little better. But then a memory hits, or a moment breaks open, and I’m right back at the start.   For me, two of the biggest heartbreaks of my life collided. I lost Empress — my sister, my closest friend, the one person who made everything feel a little less heavy. And just a few months later, I lost the girl I thought I was going to spend forever with. A 7-year relationship, gone. And so I’ve been grieving two people at once.   It’s like my mind takes shifts between them. One day, I’m mourning my sister, trying to push through the ache. Then out of nowhere, a video of my ex shows up on my scre...
