Long Distance Poems

Poems about Long Distance Relationships

To love at a distance can be torturous, as you always desire closeness to your beloved. But closeness and distance are not only physical definitions of space but also how we understand our heart. So while the physical distance between us may be great, that space may always be small within the heart. Holding close to the ones we love and trusting in that steadfastness can calm our hearts and soothe our minds no matter how far the physical distance between us. While loving another from far away may be difficult, faith in our love may keep us strong.

1. My Dearest Love
- By Sherri Brown
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2013
I wrote this after I got a phone call from my husband who is serving time in a state prison. He sometimes feels so insecure and thinks I am not waiting for him, but I will wait for him until the end of time; he is my life.

Love Forever Poem To Husband In Prison

I see you in my thoughts and dreams.
When I awake, how real it seems.
You aren't here to comfort me,
But soon I hope you will be.

I see you in my thoughts and dreams.
When I awake, how real it seems.
You aren't here to comfort me,
But soon I hope you will be.

No one truly knows or understands;
You have my heart in your hands.
My love is what you truly own.
Come soon and make our house a home.

Inside those walls you are doing your time,
Not being here with me is your only true crime.
Others in your life will come and go,
But my love is true, and I'm sure you know.

I may not be rich or the prettiest one,
But I love you so much; you are my sun.
You light up my life every time you call.
When the time is up, I begin to fall.

You are my stars, you are my moon,
Being with you will come very soon.
So when you sleep, take this to heart,
No one or nothing will keep us apart.

2. Sun And Moon
- By Del Kayler
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2019
It's a poem about lovers who are in a long distance relationship.

We Will Always Be Connected To Each Other

You were like the sun who brought light
Into my cold, dark, and lifeless night.
You made me realize that no matter what I do,
My life will always revolve around you.

You were like the sun who brought light
Into my cold, dark, and lifeless night.
You made me realize that no matter what I do,
My life will always revolve around you.

Just when I thought that darkness was all around,
You showed me your light and picked me up off the ground.
In your arms, love and care is what I found.
With you, peace and ease surrounds.

We are like the sun and the moon.
Far in every way, but I wish to see you soon.
We are miles and miles apart,
But never forget we are always connected in our heart.

3. Someone
- By Owain L. Derbyshire
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2016
A poem about loving someone in a different country. No matter the distance, as long as you are willing, anything is possible. Needless to say, you may still have to wait to be with the person you love. A single person can change you. That's why it's important to follow your heart no matter what. Believe and the time will fly. Emotions are unique to each individual; hold on to them; don't let them go. Love is a bond unlike any other; it is truly special to me and was my motivation to write this poem.

Your Love Has Changed Me

Words simply can't describe
My feelings for you,
For my feelings are so many,
But words, they are so few.

Words simply can't describe
My feelings for you,
For my feelings are so many,
But words, they are so few.

Encouragement you give me
And a connection that is true.
I'm glad while reaching out
I found someone like you.

You give your love so sweetly.
I am lost if you are away.
You have me so completely.
I cherish you night and day.

You make me laugh
When I want to cry.
You make me happy
When you don't even try.

Your laugh makes me smile.
You make my life a better place.
I love everything about you.
You're someone I could never replace.

It's you that keeps me up all night,
The one getting me through the day,
And so it seems to me that there
Is only one thing left to say.

I don't know how to say it
To make it sound so true,
So I'll say it how I feel it.
I'm in love with you.

No distance can keep us apart.
You are someone I can't forget.
You will always be in my heart.
I know I'll be with you yet.

I will tell you from my heart
We will never drift apart.
You keep me from being blue,
And I love you for being you...

4. Happy Birthday My Soul Mate
- By Manisha Shejwal
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2014
These birthday wishes go for my loving husband who is away from me.
We are compelled to stay separate when he is on career course. The separation has strengthened our bond of love. When some important family occasions arises in the course of life, I miss my husband's presence. With the drooping heart, I keep my neck stiff and manage the show. This time, it's his birthday today and we are not together...

Long Distance Birthday Poem

Though at the moment
we are poles apart
in my thoughts, in my actions
you are in my heart...

Though at the moment
we are poles apart
in my thoughts, in my actions
you are in my heart...

Each moment I think of you
though you are not near
Here come my wishes
to pray for you, my dear...

In your life ahead
may all your dreams come true
And you learn something
special and new...

May your worries
all fade away
And every happiness
embrace you each day...

May you always get
love and peace of mind
and togetherness with
the one of your kind...

May your each day ahead
end with a bliss
And what's more,
with a good night kiss...

Yet another year,
now has passed
Giving you the wisdom
little and vast...

Forty three years
have fallen behind
Next many and more
in a row are aligned...

Wishing you a Very
Happy Birthday my soul mate,
To count the years ahead
May the God forget !

5. If I Could
- By Lydia C. Dunne
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2017
I wrote this poem to a guy I met online. We get on so well that if I could give him the world, I would. But alas, that's impossible, so I can only give him what I can and that's my friendship and love.

Poem About The Gift Of Friendship And Love

If I could catch a rainbow,
I'd do so just for you
So you could share its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.

If I could catch a rainbow,
I'd do so just for you
So you could share its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.

If I could, I'd buy an island
You could call it your very own,
A place to find serenity,
Where you could be alone.

If I could take your troubles
I'd throw them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
Are impossible for me.

'Cause I can't buy an island
Nor catch a rainbow fair,
So I'll just do what I do best:
Be someone who's always there.

6. My Gorgeous Handsome Soldier
- By Beki Coxon
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2013
I wrote this poem for my boyfriend who is currently serving in Afghanistan.

Love Poem To Soldier

Today my heart is aching
For a man that's far away.
I would give anything to hold him,
And any ransom I would pay.

Today my heart is aching
For a man that's far away.
I would give anything to hold him,
And any ransom I would pay.
I find my mind just wanders
To a sandy barren hell
And pray that my loving thoughts
Find my soldier safe and well.
Each night before I go to bed
I look up to the skies,
And the moon brings me comfort
As my tears brim in my eyes.
Despite the miles between us,
We still share the stars and sun,
So I gaze upon them often.
It helps me know we are still one,
So as I lie down on my pillow,
I close my eyes and think of you.
Not only in my waking moments,
But you are in all my dreams too.
My gorgeous, handsome soldier,
I love you with all my heart,
And the hardest thing I've ever done
Is have to accept we had to part.
But our love is so much stronger
Than any force I've ever known.
In the short time we've been together,
It's amazing how much it's grown,
So until we are reunited,
Please stay safe and strong.
My heart is yours forever.
With you is where it belongs.
Think about me often,
My gorgeous, handsome man.
To wait for you forever
Is my battle plan.

7. A Soldier
- By Brionna C
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 2015
I wrote this about a year after my husband came home from Afghanistan. I couldn't write or speak about it for a long time. This was the first time I wrote a little about my heartache during that time.

Poem About Loving A Soldier

He says he's leaving.
He'll be gone about a year.
He's headed off to fight the war,
And his time is drawing near.

He says he's leaving.
He'll be gone about a year.
He's headed off to fight the war,
And his time is drawing near.

I have no words of wisdom
To ease our aching hearts.
He'll be gone and I'll be here,
A thousand miles apart.

The danger that soldiers face,
He knows it all too well.
Still, he keeps our spirits up,
As our throats begin to swell.

The morning comes all too fast;
I'm not prepared at all,
Because I know there is a chance
My soldier won't come home.

My soldier is a strong man,
One that's brave and true.
He's not afraid of dying.
He fights for me and you.

So if you see a soldier,
Give him lots of praise.
Tell him that you're thankful,
You see the price we pay.

8. I Promise
- By Shae F.
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2013
Promise Ring Poem

I am giving you this ring as a promise to you
That no matter what, I will always be here and I will always be true.

I promise that I will lie with you and hold you at night

I am giving you this ring as a promise to you
That no matter what, I will always be here and I will always be true.

I promise that I will lie with you and hold you at night
When things throughout your day just don't seem to be going right.

For you, I would walk a thousand miles and more
Just to see your beautiful smile that I absolutely adore.

I promise that I will make you smile when you feel like crying.
I promise that I will comfort you if you feel like dying.

I promise to steal away your every sorrow and fear.
I promise to wipe away your every tear.

I promise to cherish every minute I spend with you
Until the daylight sky is no longer the color of blue.

Without your love, I do not know what I would do.
I will not have a future unless it involves you.

You've changed me for the better, and I have never been so happy.
Now, with you in my life, I can't picture a world without you and me.

Fate decided it was time for us to be together,
And though our time here on Earth is short, I promise I want you always and forever.

I promise that no matter what may happen, we will make it through.
Please take this ring as a symbol of the love I will always have for you.

9. The Miles That Separate
- By Sarah McColl
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2008
I met my boyfriend when I was 14, and he lived in a different city than me. We tried to make the relationship work then but realized it couldn't at such a young age, so he pursued me for 5 years. I wrote this on our current 9 month anniversary.

Miles that separate
Friends that discriminate
Circumstances that kept us apart
And those people who broke our hearts

Miles that separate
Friends that discriminate
Circumstances that kept us apart
And those people who broke our hearts
The feelings that I was scared to show
The ones that you always made known
The good times and the bad,
The happy and the sad
You never gave up even when I would
You never let go even though I said you should
You said you love me and I believe it's true
And now I just need to say,
Baby, I love you too
As the days went by, I began to find
That this feeling inside was one I could no longer deny
You amaze me in every way
You continuously take my breath away
You know me better than I know myself
It's as if I'm a book
That you have read inside and out
You know when I'm happy, and when I'm sad
You even know when the little things make me mad
You've won my heart, proved yourself true
Babe, I don't know how you did it,
But you made me fall head over heals for you

10. Far Away Lover
- By Janna Rutty
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 2011
I'm 15 years old, and this poem is about my love for my boyfriend who lives far away. I miss him so much and love him so much that words will never be able to describe. I hope you enjoy it.

I lay in my bed and think about you.
I love you so much, I don't know what to do.
I feel your warmth at my side.
The pain in my heart moves to my eyes.

I lay in my bed and think about you.
I love you so much, I don't know what to do.
I feel your warmth at my side.
The pain in my heart moves to my eyes.
So far away, yet always so near.
You are the reason I am still here.

I await the times when we can talk
I await the times we can finally hold hands and walk.
To feel you for real... so close to me.
The happiest person in the world is what you would make me.

Your eyes shine like a million suns.
You shine more brightly than anyone.
Your smile so sweet can't help but make me smile.
It stops my world, even for a little while.
I await the time when my hand is in yours,
To hear you say those 3 little words.

There are still no words I can say to describe.
My heart, it aches; and my eyes, they cry,
But when we talk, my heart flies.
You always wipe away the tears I cry.

Even though you aren't here,
And I miss you so much, my dear,
I'll love you forever and ever.
I'll always love you, my far away lover.

11. The Sobs Of A Goodbye
- By Erica
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2017
I have secretly been writing poetry since fourth grade. This one is very special to me because one of my favorite things to write about is dreaming. I do happen to have some trouble with sleeping, so I wrote this. I like this one. I hope you do too! :)

Poem About Dreaming Of The One You Love

In the calmness. In the stillness. In the silence I awake,
Waiting in great patience for the egg of dawn to break.

For hair is golden thread woven from my golden harp.

In the calmness. In the stillness. In the silence I awake,
Waiting in great patience for the egg of dawn to break.

For hair is golden thread woven from my golden harp.
Be careful touching things if you don't know if they are sharp.

In the calmness. In the stillness. In the silence my thoughts stream,
Waiting in great patience for the arrival a dream.

Far away I know you thrive in golden heaps and piles.
Far away you live each day for miles and for miles.

Away from me you sleep each night content in your own mind.
Away from you I dream broken dreams of memories unrefined.

I wish before I sleep that I might see your long lost face,
For I'll never see you out of dreams. This is the only place.

So your fingers pull my heartstrings, and I wait for it to end.
In the calmness, stillness I await for any friend.

Fragments of my memories. I dream them, unrefined.
Far away you sleep in Finland, content in your own mind.

In the calmness. In the stillness. In the silence my thoughts stream,
Waiting in great patience for the arrival of a dream.

Each night I lay alone, hoping that I might find a way to you.
After the fragments of my memories that I am forced to suffer through.

Each night I lie awake, longing for something to light my way.
When I see a light, I open my eyes to see it's only the light of day.

I lay my head down soundly on my pillow; I start to cry.
Muffled in the linens are the sobs of a goodbye.

I know I'll never dream of you. I try so hard. I try.
Muffled in the linens are the sobs of a goodbye...

Hair is but golden thread. All is not what it may seem
While waiting in great patience for the arrival of a dream.

In the calmness. In the stillness. In the silence my thoughts stream
Waiting in great patience...for the arrival of a dream.

12. Love Apart
- By Rhonda L. Luther
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2006
It is not necessary to be together to be in love.

Even though we are miles apart,
You are never far from my heart.
I loved you then,
I love you now.

Even though we are miles apart,
You are never far from my heart.
I loved you then,
I love you now.
It's always when
And never how.
Take me back to yesterday,
All the wonderful things you had to say.
I loved you then,
I love you now.
It's always when
And never how.
I see your eyes,
I feel you near,
Although you're not
Really here.

13. What Christmas Means To Me
- By Shelagh Bullman
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2018
Long distance love is harder on the holidays

Poem: Missing The One You Love On Christmas

You're what Christmas means to me
you're the bright lights that sparkle,
On my Christmas tree,
You're the soft snowflakes

You're what Christmas means to me
you're the bright lights that sparkle,
On my Christmas tree,
You're the soft snowflakes
that floats through the air,
bringing me happiness,
with songs of good cheer.
You're the loving words on my Christmas card,
You're my Christmas spirit
when missing you gets hard.
You're my Christmas joy, and the reasons I'm glad,
But Baby Christmas without you is a little bit sad
You're the feeling of giving and receiving,
And baby you're why Christmas is still worth believing
You're my special Christmas gift wrapped up just for me,
Filled with love only I can see
You're my joy of the holiday cheer
But I miss so much and wish I was there,
I would need no presents just you in my sight,
Cuddled up warm on a cold winters night.
But for now thought I miss you and love you so dear,
I wish you happiness and lots of good cheer.
Merry Christmas

14. I Will Wait For You
- By Jerrika Rene Arthur
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2008
My boyfriend broke up with me because he didn't want me to suffer when he wasn't there to talk to me or see me. So I will wait till he is back.

When the sky turns blue
and when the night sky grows darker,
I will be waiting.

When the sky turns blue
and when the night sky grows darker,
I will be waiting.

As the sun goes away
and leaves start to fall among us,
I will still be waiting.

When the ocean runs over the sand,
and when the river floods the land,
I will be waiting.

Waiting is the only option to get you back in my arms,
So I must for that day to come.
I will wait for you.

15. Just One Word - If
- By Yvonne Roberts
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2016
I wrote this poem with the intention of sending it to my childhood friend whom I met again recently and found that he is still the love of my life and very special to me. I have never sent it.

Loving Someone Far Away

If wishing were reality, then back in time we'd be,
To when we were children: happy and carefree.
If life could be that simple, how happy I would be.
You always were my special friend.

If wishing were reality, then back in time we'd be,
To when we were children: happy and carefree.
If life could be that simple, how happy I would be.
You always were my special friend.
I thought you'd be there till the end.
For me you were the best, and that is why I loved you.

If I could have one wish come true, I know I'd use it up on you.
It was enough for me back then just to have you as my friend,
But I can't turn the clock back to when you were just mine.
If I could, I'd keep you there and show to you how much I care.
I'd tell you of the many things I'd like to share with you.
All my days, for starters, and then my night times, too.

You've given me a reason for smiling once again.
You've filled my life with peaceful dreams.
You've made me want to feel again, to laugh, and love, and see.
You are the life within my soul,
The other half that makes me whole.
You are my dearest friend.

You are the friend I've longed for my soulmate from the past.
You are the ray of sunshine that brings a rainbow from the storm.
The one to watch the stars with as they twinkle in night sky,
The one to watch the sun come up from its sleeping bed,
To see the birds awaken and listen to their song.
The journey could be beautiful if you came along.

True happiness is hard to find; it's given to so few.
If you could only feel the same, it'd make my wish come true.
More life we have behind us than we have to come.
What time we have together could be so much fun.
If I had to cross an ocean, that is what I'd do
If it means that I could spend my time left with you.

16. Patiently Waiting
- By James Richmond Jr.
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2013
My poem is titled Patiently Waiting, because my friend has been away on an 18-month sentence for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I'm very lonely but being faithful because of the love in my heart. And I write poems to occupy my mind.

Poems About Waiting For Someone You Love To Come Home

My heart is set on that glorious day
When your work is done and you're home to stay.
I'll be waiting right here, with open arms.
To hold you close and keep you warm.

My heart is set on that glorious day
When your work is done and you're home to stay.
I'll be waiting right here, with open arms.
To hold you close and keep you warm.
I'll squeeze you gentle but hold you tight.
And kiss you all over when the time is right.
I'll express my love, so you know it's true.
There's nothing on earth I would not do for you
Because you're the one, you're one-of a kind.
I'm proud to be able to call you mine.
What a expression on your face,
When I pulled the ring out of the case.
And I took your hand, then dropped to my knees.
And said honey please, will you marry me?
Like wind in wildfire, my love is spreading fast,
Growing stronger and stronger, as each day continue to pass.
I've waited very patiently, but now you're home.
Let's make up the time that you were gone.

Missing Boyfriend In Jail Poem

It was love at first sight.
When I saw you, I knew
Together we would be,
Just me and you.

It was love at first sight.
When I saw you, I knew
Together we would be,
Just me and you.

You're the only one
I love you so much.
I'm all alone now,
And I long for your touch.

It seems so long
Since you have left.
You said you would be back.
I just hope for the best.

It has been three days...
I miss you so.
I wish that I
Was allowed to go.

You said you would call
When you arrived.
But when you didn't,
It made me cry.

I count down the days
Until you're back in my world.
I still can't believe
That you chose me to be your girl.

My love is true,
I know yours is too.
I can't wait
To be back with you.

18. My Darling Wife
- By Danny Blackburn
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2008
My Pammy, my beautiful wife, is so much the reason for all I do. In a marriage you should grow and learn every day. This lady is still teaching me more about myself 33 years later than I could have ever dreamed.

Your smile is the joy of my day
I have not seen that smile for another day

Each day I need to taste your lips

Your smile is the joy of my day
I have not seen that smile for another day

Each day I need to taste your lips
Another day has passed without your kiss

Tonight I go to bed and you are not with me
Oh my love, how I miss thee

In the darkness of the night I miss your touch
Each day I love and miss you so much

I write you these thoughts of my love
Sometimes I don't know, but I trust in God above

I trust that we will be together again someday soon
Under the light of a golden fall moon

I have promised my love, an undying love for only you
I won't fail you, my devotion and love are yours, that is true

I just want to love you, hold you, caress you, and never let you go
Can you tell me that this is something that you don't realize or know?

I LOVE YOU AND WILL FOR MY LIFE TIME, DO YOU SEE?

19. Light Of My Life
- By Barbara Harkrader
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2014
I met this kind, sweet, and gentle guy, who not only became my friend; he also became a confidant. I could talk with him about anything, and he would be so supportive. He didn't judge, he didn't criticize, and he listened. He gave the insight to see things that I would not have seen on my own. Yet our two countries keep us apart. I wrote this poem to help keep his spirit near, to let him know that my heart will always feel the friendship that he has enlighten upon my life.

Poem About Thanking A Special Friend

The light is shining oh so bright
The light you brought into my life
I have searched so high and low
For my special glow

The light is shining oh so bright
The light you brought into my life
I have searched so high and low
For my special glow
Before I sleep, I will pray
The Lord will give me that special day
I will let my spirit enjoy the night
To envision my special light
You have given me the gift I seek
To keep my spirit from being oh so weak
I thank the Lord for the shine in you
For helping me understand the gift from you
Unto you, I will say
I thank the Lord for bringing you my way

20. The Love For Sarina
- By Michael Navarro
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2009
Dedicated to Sarina Navarro.. I love you

Love Poem To Her Before Leaving

My love for you runs so deep,
It is hard for me to even sleep.

Every time I see your eyes,

My love for you runs so deep,
It is hard for me to even sleep.

Every time I see your eyes,
All I want to do is cry.

When I touch your lovely skin,
I get so nervous from within.

Your hug and lips are what I miss,
But what I miss more is your kiss.

Knowing that we will be apart,
How much this is breaking my heart.

You're all I want, as you can see,
The love from you is all I need.

I so desire not to leave,
I know this is something you need.

I write this poem for my sweetheart,
I love you from the depth of my heart.

Poems about Long Distance Relationships

38 Thinking Of You Poems for Distance Relationships

1. My Dearest Love

I wrote this after I got a phone call from my husband who is serving time in a state prison. He sometimes feels so insecure and thinks I am not waiting for him, but I will wait for him until the end of time; he is my life.

6. My Gorgeous Handsome Soldier

I wrote this poem for my boyfriend who is currently serving in Afghanistan.

I wrote this about a year after my husband came home from Afghanistan. I couldn't write or speak about it for a long time. This was the first time I wrote a little about my heartache during that time.

8. I Promise

9. The Miles That Separate

I met my boyfriend when I was 14, and he lived in a different city than me. We tried to make the relationship work then but realized it couldn't at such a young age, so he pursued me for 5 years. I wrote this on our current 9 month anniversary.

10. Far Away Lover

I'm 15 years old, and this poem is about my love for my boyfriend who lives far away. I miss him so much and love him so much that words will never be able to describe. I hope you enjoy it.

11. The Sobs Of A Goodbye

I have secretly been writing poetry since fourth grade. This one is very special to me because one of my favorite things to write about is dreaming. I do happen to have some trouble with sleeping, so I wrote this. I like this one. I hope you do too! :)

It is not necessary to be together to be in love.

15. Just One Word - If

I wrote this poem with the intention of sending it to my childhood friend whom I met again recently and found that he is still the love of my life and very special to me. I have never sent it.

16. Patiently Waiting

My poem is titled Patiently Waiting, because my friend has been away on an 18-month sentence for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I'm very lonely but being faithful because of the love in my heart. And I write poems to occupy my mind.

17. I Know It

My boyfriend just recently got sent off. I have had really bad depression problems since then, so writing poems about him and how I feel has really helped me. Thanks for reading. Hope y'all enjoy. Love y'all. Misti
