Sometimes when someone is around you or part of your life you don’t realize how important they are or appreciate the role they play in your life. It’s often only when your relationship ends or he/she moves on that you come to realize their importance due to the fact that they’re now missing from your life.

A song which describes this perfectly

Monica – Until it's gone

It’s a shame you didn't want it when you had itGave my love and you took it for grantedAnd it was me those nights that you didn’t come homeCrying to my momma, blowing up your phoneJust wait a little while, baby you're gonna seeThat this is gonna hurt you more than it hurt me
One thing that I know for sureIs you're gonna miss me when I goAnd it’s gonna hurt babeWhen you’re all aloneI guess it’s true what people sayYou never knowWhat you have until it’s gone

A poem describing this perfectly

Took you for advantage. I assumed that you’d stay.

I’ll never forget how you walked out that day.

I miss you daily, I see now our love was true.

It’s so hard trying to go on without you.

I thought I’d be happier I guess I was wrong,

You never how good something is until it’s gone.
