Thank you! I think Liu Kang misses being human in general, his friends and Kung Lao and Kitana specifically being who he misses the most. As a god he can't be with these people like he once was, constantly having them keep him at arm's length due to his status. Even if they didn't see him as "above them" he would still keep his distance because as much as it hurts these aren't the people he loved. He didn't grow up with this Kung Lao and they didn't share many of their firsts together, Raiden did. This Kitana isn't the woman who learned of her true origin and struggled to choose between the man who raised her with what she thought was a kind, but tight, hand and doing what was good for all realms. These people never saw his dumb mistakes or bad jokes or how he acted while he was vulnerable. He doesn't know these people now but he used to, and that's what hurts the most.
Sorry if this was rambly I have a lot of thoughts on Liu Kang as a character :D
