Saying "to miss" ("I missed you over the weekend")


What's the best way to say "to miss" in the sense of feeling a longing for
something, or that something pleasant is missing? I understand there's
[懐]{なつ}かしむ, but it seems to me that, like 懐かしい, is more appropriate for
recalling your childhood home or a great vacation or something like that, not
a "smaller" context like "I miss having lunch with you on the weekends" or
something like that. Am I wrong?




In that situation, it is more natural to express that you are lonely without
the person.

> 週末はあなたがいなくて寂しかった。  
>  'I was lonely without you during the weekend.'
