This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
I'll be missin' you
Hello, Young Savage
What you doin'? Trill Ent
I'll be missin' you, I'll be missin' you
Webbie
I ain't been home but a few days, I miss you
I know you do, I ain't gon' lie, I miss you too
Come on kiss me through the phone, I'ma kiss you too
Now I'ma hit you in a minute, gotta get this loot
Girl, we got us somethin' special, I know it ain't nothin' better
You can trust me 'cause I'm tellin' ya, I don't want nothin' else
You get lonely, you can just use the pictures up on the dresser
I ain't never think a woman could have me this lil' feelin'
Girls'll walk up on me, flirtin', I be tellin' 'em, "Nah, I'm chillin"
Hug you tight, go to sleep, just to squeeze you like my lil' pillow
Then I wake up Monday mornin', don't come back till Friday
And my whole 'nother whip, sittin' on 6's with tinted windows
Baby phat bags, all the purses with matchin' slippers, you done heard
I fucked this dumb bitch, now you mad trippin'
Tears in ya eyes, yellin' you tired of my fast livin'
I'm just happy for to see ya, goddamn, I miss you
Since you went away, I've been down and lonely
Since you went away, I've been thinkin' of you
Ooh, I'm missin' you, ooh, I'm missin' you
From rags to riches, if that shit was to hit me again
I'd have to bring you with me again
It done been a lot of stuff I found myself in
And you stuck by a nigga like my left hand
It wasn't all this at first, till we just kept prayin'
Now I'm on, you a bad ass bitch, yes, ma'am
And oh yes ma'am, as soon as I get home it's gon' be work time
And you know us, we like to fuck like it's the first time
You tell the first time for some reason
I knew that I was stayin' and I figured you wasn't leavin'
I know that I don't need ya but be feelin' like I need ya
When it come to certain people, I act like I got a meetin'
But I just wanna please ya, trust me, they just wanna be ya
Whenever I ain't with ya, baby, I can't wait to see ya
I gotta keep it G and say I love ya, 'cause I'm for real
Now what's with all the tears? We been doin' this shit for years
Since you went away, I've been down and lonely
Since you went away, I've been thinkin' of you
Ooh, I'm missin' you, ooh, I'm missin' you
Ooh, I'm missin' you, ooh, I'm missin' you
Ya, everything I need, couldn't have asked for more
Boy, you know you were waitin' for
I know you wonder why I'm standin' at the door
To let you know, I miss you
And you can see it in my eyes
You're the completion to my life
Ain't even a question, you already know
But I'll remind you that, I miss you, ooh
I miss you, baby, ooh
(Ooh)
I'll miss you baby
(Ooh, I'll be missin' you)
I'll miss you baby, ooh

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
