I Miss You (보고싶다)

Kim Bum Soo's 'I Miss You (보고싶다)' is a poignant ballad that delves into the depths of longing and the pain of separation. The lyrics express the narrator's intense desire to be with their loved one, despite knowing that their presence only causes pain. The repeated phrase '보고 싶다' which translates to 'I miss you,' underscores the deep yearning that the narrator feels.

The song's narrative suggests a self-awareness of the narrator's detrimental impact on their partner. Despite the love they have, the narrator understands that staying together is not beneficial for their loved one. This realization is encapsulated in the lines where the narrator wishes to erase all the hurt they've caused, even if it means kneeling down and begging for forgiveness. The emotional weight of the song is further amplified by the acknowledgment that love cannot be an excuse to continue a harmful relationship.

The song's conclusion, where the narrator expresses a desire to forget as much as they want to see their loved one, highlights the internal conflict between love and responsibility. The narrator is caught between the selfish desire to be with their partner and the altruistic understanding that leaving is the best course of action for their partner's well-being. This bittersweet sentiment resonates with anyone who has ever had to let go of someone they love for the greater good.
