Feel the lack of (4)

I think it could be either:

need

miss

'feel the lack of' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for miss that I've seen before include "Fail to find" , "Fail to hit (something)" , "Single girl" , "Feel the absence of" , "Don't hit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and The Mirror.
