[Verse 1]
Can you tell me
How can one miss what she's never had
How could I reminisce when there is no past
How could I have memories of being happy with you boy
Could someone tell me how can this be
How could my mind pull up incidents
Recall dates and times that never happened
How could we celebrate a love that's too late
And how could I really mean the words I'm bout to say
[Chorus]
I missed the times that we almost shared
I miss the love that was almost there
I miss the times that we use to kiss
At least in my dreams
Just let me take my time and reminisce
I miss the times that we never had
What happened to us we were almost there
Whoever said it's impossible to miss when you never had
Never almost had you
[Verse 2]
I cannot believe I let you go
Or what I should say is
I shoulda grabbed you up and never let you go
I shoulda went out with you
I shoulda made you my boo boy
Yes that's one time I shoulda broke the rules
I shoulda went on a date
Shoulda found a way to escape
Shoulda turned an almost into
If it happened now its to late
How could I celebrate a love that wasn't real
And if it didn't happen why does my heart feel
[Chorus]
I missed the times that we almost shared
I miss the love that was almost there
I miss the times that we use to kiss
At least in my dreams
Just let me take the time and reminisce
I miss the times that we never had
What happened to us we were almost there
Whoever said it's impossible to miss when you never had
Never almost had you
[Verse 3]
(sometimes I wanna rub ya, some nights I wanna hug ya)
And you seem to be the perfect one for me
You (some nights I wanna touch ya but tonight I wanna love ya)
You're all that I ever wanted
And you're my everything yes its true
Boy its hard to be close to you
My love
I know it may sound crazy
But I'm in love with you
[Chorus]
I missed the times that we almost shared
I miss the love that was almost there
I miss the times that we use to kiss
At least in my dreams
Just let me take the time and reminisce
I miss the times that we never had
What happened to us we were almost there
Whoever said it's impossible to miss when you never had
Never almost had you
I missed the times that we almost shared
I miss the love that was almost there (sometimes I wanna rub ya)
I miss the times that we use to kiss
At least in my dreams
Just let me take the time and reminisce (but tonight I wanna love ya)
I miss the times that we never had
What happened to us we were almost there
Whoever said its impossible to miss when you never had
Never, never almost had you (but tonight I wanna love ya)
Can you tell me
How can one miss what she's never had
How could I reminisce when there is no past
How could I have memories of being happy with you boy
Could someone tell me how can this be
Recall dates and times that never happened
How could we celebrate a love that's too late
And how could I really mean the words I'm bout to say
I missed the times that we almost shared
I miss the love that was almost there
I miss the times that we use to kiss
At least in my dreams
Just let me take my time and reminisce
I miss the times that we never had
What happened to us we were almost there
Whoever said it's impossible to miss when you never had
Never almost had you
I cannot believe I let you go
Or what I should say is
I shoulda grabbed you up and never let you go

Whoever said its impossible to miss when you never had
Never, never almost had you (but tonight I wanna love ya)

this is about almost in your mind getting together with someone and wishing you had in reality.
I love this song it's very relatable
im sure every body has beenn in this kind of situation
I'm going through this now
I see this song is a different way. I think the person that she's dreaming about is already there.. Shes fallen in love with him but they're only together in her dreams, not reality but she wants more than that. It might be about her crush because she sings:
"Boy its hard to be close to you (My love) I know it may sound crazy But I'm in love with you"
Towards the end of the song, shes admitting that she's in love with him.
I interpet this song totally different. I am in a situation right now where I realized that my whole last relationship of a year was a complete lie. The person who I thought loved me never really did...So the love was never really there..Tamia says "Whoever said it's impossible to miss what you never had" She also says "How could I celebrate a love that wasn't real? And if it didn't happen what does my heart feel?" She's missing what she THOUGHT she had..what she ALMOST had...

this song, i believe, is about an actual relationship, one that had great potential but that potential was never realized because it ended prematurely. not necessarily that she had another man or he had another woman but maybe she hesitated and didnt want to commit to him, now the chance is gone. another interpretation, which i can relate to, could be that the guy was emotionally unavailable. initially he made it seem that he was available and ready to b in a serious, committed relationship but once the relationship started to get really deep and real feelings became involved he...

"can u tell me, how can one miss what shez never had"- if this happens one must assume that the guy probly nevr really loved u to begin with so therefore u nevr really "had him" so the relationship has ended. and although they were happy at one point, the relationship has disintegrated so it's as if it were all a dream..."what happened to us, we were almost there..." i miss the love that was almost there...</3
It means that they were already lover's before and had become complete strangers to each other when they parted ways. One singing the song expresses her recalling the times that never happened because the past is completely gone and no one would have to know it. It's like a secret relationship that she had with the former lover that only her and that person could recall.
I believe this song is about missing and loving someone you nbever met like we talked over the phone all of the time and never met
