Hi teacher

What is the difference between these 2 sentences

I was missing her until she comes back
I had been missing her for a long time until she comes back

Does it mean that in the first sentence the time I miss her was shorter than in the second one

thanks

The first sentence is shorter than the second one. Both are incorrect. I missed her until she came back.
