The saying "absence makes the heart grow fonder" implies that if something or someone is absent, you will love it or him/her even more.
Do you miss someone you haven't seen in a long time?
This expression is contrary to "out of sight, out of mind," a saying which means that if you do not see someone or something for a long time, you will forget about it, him, or her.
