Grammatical problem...

A : I'll be missing you.

B : Since you've been gone.

I could hardly make out the grammatical structure both of them.

I have no grammatical idea about that.

a : I'll miss you.

b : Since you've gone.

I totally understood 'a' and 'b'...

And I guess 'A' and 'B' are similar meaning to 'a' and 'b'.

Please.. Let me know that.

Thanks a lot, in advance.

Similar in meaning, yes-- just slightly different ways of expression: A : I'll be missing you. = I will be missing you (while you are gone) : progressive aspect stresses the ongoing emotion B : Since you've been gone. = Since you have been gone: gone serves as a complement, the condition of 'not here'.
