Question

Explain absence makes heart grow fonder

Answer 1

The proverb “absence makes the heart grow fonder” describes the feeling of greater affection between friends and lovers who are kept apart. It is a phrase that, in on one form or another, can be traced back for millennia—the Roman poet Sextus is credited with the earliest version of the phrase.

Answer 2

It means that when a person is absent for a longer period, you wish meeting him or her very much. ... You realize how much you love that person, and the desire to see them often increases.
