Cribbing friend

How much ever attention I give him, he still cribs, actually speaking don’t know how to satisfy him. I obviously can’t tell him, hey Samy I miss you so much and that you know how I wish we could see each other everyday. Friendship attains certain level of maturity after a point. It is pointless to say everyday I miss you, I love you my friend. Heart speaks not the lip over the years. Hope he understands. Will he?
