been learning basic japanese for a little while and i want to tell a close (male) friend informally "i miss you".

i figured this would be "anata ga inakute samishii yo"

questions-

can i say "yo" or does it have to be "desu yo"

is "yo" even appropriate? i chose to use it because it emphasizes my feeling, plus the situation is not formal

is there a less formal but still appropriate way to address him rather than "anata"

finally, how do i write this out in japanese? i know most hiragana but nothing else.

thanks.
