This is a basic language question for Korean. Speech is going from male to female, but I guess a basic phrase would work in either direction. (If it helps to explain, it's not about being too mushy but at the same time it's not overly casual or too light.)

Two people out of touch for a while, dated before, but one wants to say to the other "i miss you" or "i've been missing you" and say or imply "let's meet again." The literal meaning is "I think about you sometimes and therefore would like to chat, talk, meet again not necessarily right away but once we have time." Moreover, "I think it would best that we keep in touch, just as well I would like to talk to you about some things." Would like to know the more common phrase as well as anything bit more unique if you can.

I know there's a good handful of people here who studied the language, are near experts, or live with the language. Just as well a few others might have already learned the phrase. Thx.

I think you might be even more longwinded than me.

Anyway, most Koreans would just say ���� �;��. (bogo shipoyo)

�׸����� means "I long for you" a little deeper than "I miss you" or �����;��
