A Kiss, A Hug, A Smile

I had known my first boyfriend, lover, and father to my son for 13 years and had been with him for two years. I saw a boy turn into a man in a matter of months. Our son was born in December 2020. Everything was like a dream. On March 7, 2021, my boyfriend turned 22 years old. On April 2, 2021, the sheriff called. There had been a head on collision. My brother and two-year-old niece were at the hospital, alive but in bad condition. The passenger, my lover, has felt all of the pain and suffering before and after being ejected from the car and died a couple minutes before the police arrived on scene. I was left alone to raise my three-month-old son, questioning my faith and trying to understand God and forgive my brother's driving. It's hard. I loved him with all of me. I miss him. I want him to come back to me. No matter how much I cry about it, it will never happen. I hope he's waiting for me. I'm lost, but all I can do is pretend I'm okay, continue to raise my only son the best I can, making him proud of me.

I lost my boyfriend, Joseph, to a car accident on February 9, 2021, a day to my birthday. He was 25. I had a photo session for my birthday, which I planned sending to him on the 9th. At work on the 9th of February, I got a call about my boyfriend's accident. I was devastated. All I did was pray because I was faraway. Joe and I loved each other with every single breath. We shared our dreams and planned the future. We were lovers right from high school. We couldn't wait to start a family and grow old together. He was very supportive, handsome, ambitious, caring, loving, and romantic. His words were, "You only live one. Live and love." We had an argument the night before his demise, and I called to apologize. I made him laugh, and I said "I love you" a million times. All I do every day is play his voicemails and view his pictures. I cry every day. I feel numb. It hurts a lot living without him. I still can't believe my true love is gone. I will love you forever, Sugar!

I can relate to you almost to the T. I lost my boyfriend on August 8, 2020. We had only been together for 1 month. He died in a motorcycle accident. I had stayed the night with him the night before. We had to go to the lake, and I dropped him off at home the same day. He died in the morning. We were going to meet back up, but hours went by and no call. Turned out he was on his way to pick me up when he was hit. I can’t believe how much it hurts. I wasn’t able to tell him how I really felt. I miss him so much. I cry every day.

I lost my soulmate a month ago. We were together for a year. We met at work. It was love at first sight. We believed we were brought together by faith! I wanted happiness and he just wanted to be loved! He was fighting a life of alcoholism since he was 15. I was always there when he needed me to help him fight through his illness. I would get so angry with him because he wouldn't stop. The night before he passed, I was helping clean his place. He was sick fighting the withdrawals. He didn't want me to leave, but I had to go home to my kids. I kissed him bye, not knowing when he closed the door behind me and locked it, it would be the last time I'd see him alive! He went into a coma. His body just gave up. He died from liver disease. It hurts so bad. He promised me he wouldn't ever leave me! I miss him so much. He took my heart with him!

I had been with my boyfriend for 4 years. We would do everything together. When I found out of his passing 3 weeks ago, it felt like he took a piece of me with him. We did everything together: go to school, go to the mall, go to the movies, everything. I miss him so much that every time I think about, it just makes me wanna cry. I loved this man and now he's gone. I don't know what to do with my life. The last thing we said to each other was, "I Love You". I would've never thought it would end like this. He was my best friend.

I lost my partner on July 26, 2018. It broke my heart. We had been together since 2008 and although we had a few difficulties, we were always drawn back too each other. He was my world, my rock, my everything. I never got to go to the funeral since he had to be buried the next day due to his religion, and that broke me. I couldn't travel in time. I love you ab. I always will, yesterday, today, and tomorrow. For as long as I live it will be always you and me.

I just lost my boyfriend to a fight with diabetes. I can relate to the poem. It's everything I feel and wonder, both in my head and out loud.

I met a guy at my new work-place 4 months ago, and we started going out, but our relationship was still private since it had been just a month of dating. The night before he got an accident, I went to his apartment and found him playing fifa with his guy friends. He made me dinner while I sat in the kitchen and watched him. He was traveling that night, so I decided to head home so that he could get some rest before he had to travel. He hugged me and kissed me and told me how much he really liked me. The following day as I entered the lounge at work, I saw his picture on the noticeboard saying that he had got an accident and died. My heart broke. My baby was gone, and no one was there to comfort me because I had told him to keep it a secret since I was the new girl at work, so no one knew we were dating. It has been 26 days since he died, and I still cannot accept the fact that he is gone. I miss my baby. I should have let the world know how much I loved him.

My boyfriend passed away March 20,2018. It's been 37 days and counting...counting the days until I can be with him again. The love we had was so special. We connected on levels I can't even explain. He was my true soulmate. How am I supposed to keep going and be strong like everyone tells me...when I'm just torn apart? I wanna believe everything happens for a reason, but what kind of reason would it be okay for your best friend to be gone and you left alone?

I lost my boyfriend in my arms on July 1, 2017 from an asthma attack. Even though we were only together for two and a half months, it still hurt like I was with him for years. It hurt even more to hear him tell me he was about to die and then give me a huge and close his eyes.

I lost my boyfriend 2 months ago. He was not only my boyfriend; he was also my best friend and my everything. He was my world. No one can replace him. I know you will never come back to me, but I believe that you will always be near. I miss you a lot, and my love toward you will never end.

October 7, 2017 is when I lost the love of my life, my best friend, my everything. He went out for his 19th birthday. He was put on life support but didn't make it. At 19 years old I lost everything. He died from a heroin overdose. It has barely been a month, and I have lost my mind.

Chintu, I love you so much. I really don't know why you did this to me. Why you left me alone. It's been one year and 2 months. I have lost you now. I know that you are never going to come back, but my heart still feels that you might have gone somewhere and you will come because you can't live without me. My bad luck is that I can't even see your last face. It hurts me a lot. I can't give your place to anybody. I just wish whenever I die I just meet you first. I have many questions, but the only thing I want is to see you, to hug you, to kiss you one last time. I am dying every single second without you. Only I know that how painful it is to be in this world without you. I miss you so much. I love you so much.

I lost my man 6 months ago. He was involved in a motor accident. I wasn't there when the accident happened. I was sleeping peacefully at home. When I woke up the next morning, I received a news about him from my mom. I immediately checked my phone. I didn't want to believe it. I was already shaking when I held my phone and there I saw his last messages and last calls for me. I wasn't able to answer all of them because I was already sleeping. The whole night. I really thought he was in his apartment because that's what he told me before I went to sleep, but no. Now he's gone. I can't reach him anymore. It hurts. It really hurts especially when you can't do anything about it but just accept the fact that he's really gone forever. Baby, I miss you so much. I know you're in a better place now, but damn it's always gonna hurt. I love you.

I lost my boyfriend 3 months ago. We took the dogs out for a walk and he loved parkour and things like that. He climbed up on a train and got hit by high voltage. He survived at that point but died the next morning in the hospital. We were together for 3 months but spent every day together in work and at home. We planned our whole lives together.

I miss you, Oliver. Life is not the same without you anymore. Miss your tattoos and the way you closed your eyes when I rubbed your hair in the car. They say the night is the darkest before the dawn. But my sun will never come up again, so all I see is the sunset you paint every day! Oliver 1992-2017

My fiancé passed away on the 15th of October 2016. We had been together 8 years. It would have been 9 years on the 17th of July. We have 2 beautiful children. He was my best friend, my hero, my lover. He was my everything. The pain never stops. I guess you just learn to live with the pain. Nearly nine months on and I still think he's coming home to me, but till we meet again, Handsome, I will always love you, and you will always be my hero.

I lost my boyfriend June 12th, 2017, 4 days ago. He was in a car accident. We hadn't talked at all that day, and I regret it so much. Tomorrow is his funeral, and I don't want to see his body lying there. I've never felt this pain before. I don't know how to cope with it.

I lost my boyfriend 11 days ago. We were in Mexico on vacation. I got pulled out by a riptide and he drowned trying to save my life. He is my hero. This still feels like a bad dream, and it doesn't feel like he's really gone. I don't deserve to walk on God's green Earth, and if I could trade places with him I would without question.

I lost my heart the day someone decided to take the life of Mackinley. To shoot him, and God took him right then and there. At least he didn't suffer. The suffering is left up to me. There's so much I wished that I said the last time that I saw him. Fly high, my love, and know we spent the best years of our lives together.

I lost my boyfriend on April 1, 2017. He wasn't just my boyfriend; he was soon to be a daddy for the first time. I'm 7 months pregnant with his first and only son. He was murdered and his life was taken from his son. He was so happy to be a dad. I miss you and love you and no one will ever take your place. R.I.P ANGEL SANABRIA 10/27/1990 - 04/01/2017.

I lost my boyfriend Chito more than a month ago due to Leukemia. We've been together for 7 years and planning to get married after two years. I stayed with him until his burial day. No words can tell how I was feeling that day. But God has a purpose for everything. I know he is living now with God where there is no pain, suffering and death. He will always be my one and only.

I lost my boyfriend almost a year ago to suicide. He was a soldier struggling with PTSD. He was due to come home a few days later. I hadn't seen him in a year, though we talked every day. When I first heard, I felt guilty, like why didn't I know how badly it was affecting him. Why wasn't I there with him. I still think of him every day. Another month will be one year since I lost him. And though life has moved me on, I will never stop loving or missing him. He truly was my hero.
