I Miss You Poems
Thinking of You Poems
When someone you love has left you there is a feeling of missing a part of yourself. Like one who has had a limb removed, you constantly reach for the phantom lover. You may wish for this uncomfortable feeling to leave you so that you can function properly. However, the truth is that the place in your heart that feels a sense of lacking represents the hole where your relationship goes. It is natural to feel that you miss the person the belongs in your life.
47 Poems About Missing Someone You Love

1. Love
Because of you, in gardens of blossoming
Flowers I ache from the perfumes of spring.
I have forgotten your face, I no longer
Remember your hands; how did your lips
Feel on mine?
Because of you, I love the white statues
Drowsing in the parks, the white statues that
Have neither voice nor sight.
I have forgotten your voice, your happy voice;
I have forgotten your eyes.
Like a flower to its perfume, I am bound to
My vague memory of you. I live with pain
That is like a wound; if you touch me, you will
Make to me an irreperable harm.
Your caresses enfold me, like climbing
Vines on melancholy walls.
I have forgotten your love, yet I seem to
Glimpse you in every window.
Because of you, the heady perfumes of
Summer pain me; because of you, I again
Seek out the signs that precipitate desires:
Shooting stars, falling objects. -
2. How It Used To Be
I Miss What We Had PoemI remember how it used to be
when nothing else matter but you and me.
Music, country roads, and future dreams.
I miss you, I wish you could see.
Although you are here, I miss you and me.
I remember when you said how happy I made you,
and you really meant it...now, it's just a phrase
you say without thinking.
I miss those days when you'd call just to say, "Hi,"
or, "I love you." Those days it was so hard
just to say good-bye for a while.
I remember how wonderful it felt the first time
you held me in your arms, and how after all those
years you still made my heart melt.
I miss the old you and the old me,
The old us that could just sit and talk for hours
and never run out of things to say.
I remember when time simply stood still,
when in each other's arms was the only place
we wanted to be...forever.
I miss us as I remember how it used to be...
when nothing else mattered but you and me.Latest Shared StoryZachary, I just saw your comment on the poem I wrote. You know, you can miss someone when they are sleeping in the bed right beside you every night or miss them when they move on. Either way,...

3. I Cry
I'm sitting on the porch,
Wind blowing through my hair.
The ducks are frolicking in the pond,
But I just can't seem to care.
Life goes on around me.
I don't participate.
I go through all the motions,
But what I really do is wait.
I dream about the day
That you'll come home to me.
Nothing else is important.
Why can't people see?
I don't want to go out.
I don't want to have fun.
I don't want to do a thing
Until all is said and done.
They took you in the summer.
Now fall is almost finished.
Winter will be here very soon,
And then the year will have diminished.
You have no idea how much I cry.
I never let you know.
It's so hard out here without you,
But I'm not allowed to let it show.
I must pretend all is fine.
Everyone thinks all's okay,
But what I never ever tell them
Is that I cry for you every day.Latest Shared StoryWow, this poem is how I end almost every letter to my husband. They took him the beginning of summer also. Our daughter was 6 months old, and today she turned 1 year, and he missed it. I cry...

4. Stuck In A Dream
Last night I had a dream.
We were walking hand in hand
On a deserted island beach,
Over endless miles of sand.
The moon was shining bright.
You looked over at me and smiled,
Your eyes so full of passion,
Our thoughts both running wild,
We laid down and held each other,
So close but never enough
The tides came in and nearly covered us
As we made pure and beautiful love,
I had never known so much beauty
As your skin in the pale moon light.
Every moment so intense and new,
On this warm, dark, and blissful night.
But as the sun rose the next morning,
You disappeared and left me alone.
I’m still on that deserted island.
Come back and bring me home...Latest Shared StoryNever has a poem hit me so hard and touched the pit of my soul. People talk about meeting their soul mates, and for forty years I thought stuff like that only came out of fairy tales. That...

5. Choice
I'd rather have the thought of you
To hold against my heart,
My spirit to be taught of you
With west winds blowing,
Than all the warm caresses
Of another love's bestowing,
Or all the glories of the world
In which you had no part.
I'd rather have the theme of you
To thread my nights and days,
I'd rather have the dream of you
With faint stars glowing,
I'd rather have the want of you,
The rich, elusive taunt of you
Forever and forever and forever unconfessed
Than claim the alien comfort
Of any other's breast.
O lover! O my lover,
That this should come to me!
I'd rather have the hope of you,
Ah, Love, I'd rather grope for you
Within the great abyss
Than claim another's kiss-
Alone I'd rather go my way
Throughout eternity.Latest Shared StoryI have never read anything by Angela Morgan, but this truly speaks to me right now.

6. For Love's Sake
I'm so tired of this empty feeling.
I'm so tired of being alone.
I lay here staring at the ceiling,
Waiting by the phone.
I jump when the phone rings.
It brings a smile to my face.
When he hangs up my heart stings,
And I sink back into my lonely place.
I wish and I dream
That we'll be together soon.
I can't wait until we can look up hand in hand
At the stars and at the moon.
I yearn for his kisses
His touch - his embrace.
I can't wait for Thursdays
When I get to see his face.
I'm flooded with thoughts of him
In my heart, soul, and mind.
I imagine his touch,
So gentle and kind.
I try not to weep.
I hope he doesn't hear my cries,
But I can't stop the tears
Falling from my eyes.
I cry a thousand tears
And think - how much more can I take?
But in my heart I know I'd wait a thousand years
All for love's sake.Latest Shared StoryPatrick, I love you sooo much!! I will wait for all ETERNITY for you! You are my world, my rock, my EVERYTHING!

7. What I Miss...
Complicating A FriendshipI miss how we used to be,
So vibrant, so honest, so wild and free.
I miss the way you would understand,
Listen carefully and be there when I needed a hand.
I miss our long, random talks at night,
Our private conversations,
Our silly little fights.
I miss the way you could read my mind,
Know what to say,
When words were hard to find.
I miss the way you could brighten my day,
Make me forget the mistakes,
Make the pain go away.
I miss how you made me laugh,
Hate how you made me cry,
Loved how you said you would always be there,
But once again, I forgot that everything you say is a lie.Latest Shared StoryI read this story, and it sounds like something that happened to me, almost the same. I couldn't have written a better story of what happened to me and one of my closest friends. I also did...

It's a little bit more than I can bear.

9. Without You
Endless And Lonely Days When You're Not NearWithout you, days seem endless.
Without you, my nights are lonely.
Everything seems so empty.
Only with you I know I will be fine.
Moments with you are frozen in time.
When I'm with you,

Without you, nothing lasts forever.

10. I'm Busy Finding Me
I miss you in silence
And every moment in between
But I’m a little busy unfolding
Those pieces of who I used to be

I’m just a little busy
Finding me.Latest Shared StoryOne has to find themself, I agree, and not be totally reliant on somebody. I know because I was never allowed to live freely; now my independence I treasure dearly.

11. The Game
Poem About Missing Boyfriend In JailLet me tell you about a game I play
Where I close my eyes and fade away
I float away to a special place
Beyond the stars and moon and space
In this special place you see
There are only two people - just you and me
In this place, all is right
Nothing but love, and we never fight
In this place, there is no sadness
No cells, no courts, none of that madness
No rules to follow, no laws to break
No bars to hold us or separate
No one to tell us we can't kiss or touch
I don't just tell you "I love you" - I show you how much
But eventually the game must end
My eyes must open, and reality sets in
But someday soon - I'm not sure when
I will close my eyes and play my game againLatest Shared StoryI wanted to cry when I read this. I didn't realize how often I do this, even throughout the day. This one touched my heart. My husband has been in jail for 3 years. He got 7 years and there...

12. Missing You So Much
As I lay here on my bed listening to everybody talking
my head is spinning with thoughts of you.
I hear your voice throughout the day
telling me you love me and that I'm the one for you.
Over and over again I hear your voice
and feel your arms wrapped around me
but when I look around you're not here.
I'm wishing you will realize soon that I do care.
Wishing and hoping that someday soon we will be together again.
I love you so much
and I miss seeing you every day
and being next to you at night.
You never come to see me anymore
so I lay here in my bed crying
because I miss you so much and I love you too.
I wish I could see you like I used to
but you won't let that happen and neither will she.
I try to talk to you but you walk away.
Tears form in my eyes and I start to cry.
They say to forget about you but I don't know how.

I miss spending time with you every day.
I can't seem to get you out of my head.
I love you baby and I miss you too.Latest Shared StoryI lost my bestfriend and my soulmate to drinking and drugs I didn't have to be there for him but I loved him so much that I couldn't walk away. I watched him take his last breath and that was...

13. I Miss You More Than I Can Say
Missing My Crush After A MoveI wish upon the glistening stars,
I pray night and day.
I'm sad that we're so far apart,
That you're so far away.
I try to heal a broken heart,
And yet there is no way.
And when it simply falls apart,
Hurts more than I could say,
I cry myself to sleep sometimes,
And yet I need no pity.
I need to fix my broken heart
Or all this pain is hitting
Forever, ever, ever on.
It's truly you I miss.
Sometimes I could just close my eyes
And fantasize sweet bliss.
A single tear streaks down my face.
My feelings are revealed,
Though I had tried so very hard
To keep these things concealed.
I never wanted to move away.
I hope friendship truly stays.
Please don't let this fall away.
I'll just hold on another day.
You've stolen my heart, taken over my mind,
So please be sweet and please be kind.
Remember me, please, every day.

14. Missing You In Every Part Of Life
I miss you
In all the pauses,
The loudness,
The quiet,
The chaos,
Of my everyday

In my heart,
My mind,
My skin,
My body & soul
I miss you…

15. Missing You
Poem About The One Who Got AwayMissing you is like a day without light
or a rose without petals.
Every time I think of you
My days grow shorter,
My heart gets weaker,
and my love grows stronger.

But then I realized nothing is the same.
Missing you is like a day without light
or a rose without petals. -
16. I Want To Tell You
There’s so much I want to say to you,
words I buried in my mind
but when it’s time to sing the verses
the melodies come out wrong.
I want to tell you
that I still miss you
even though I know I shouldn’t.
I want to tell you
that I wish to hold you
even though I can’t.
I want to tell you
you are the one
even when you couldn’t be.
But most of all
I want to tell you
that I love you
and I never stopped
But maybe one day
you’d keep telling me, instead.

17. Lost Before I Found You
When we first met, I was lost
Lost in the deep moonlight ocean
That I found in his eyes
When we first met, I was lost
Lost in the pale pink rose
That I found resting upon his cheek
When we first met, I was lost
Lost in the light brown bark of a tree
That I found on his skin
When we first met, I was lost
Lost in the pearls
That I found just underneath those perfect lips
When he left, I was lost
Lost in a whole new way
No more deep blue eyes
No more pink roses
No more perfect pearls
And when he left, I was lost
Lost in the sorrow
That I found in my heart
Latest Shared StoryI like this poem. It's balanced. Its use of color and metaphor is graceful.

18. Oh, How I Miss You
oh,
how I miss the high of you
how you fill the entire room
how you make my heart race
how I melt, undeniably,
into you -
19. You Will Always Hold My Heart
I remember the first time we met.
It is something I will never forget.
The beauty that was shown in your face
Takes me to a very special place.
A warm feeling as you walked into the room.
Little did I know that I would never again see you; it came so soon.
Did I do something? Was it right or was it wrong?
It still haunts me like a very sad song.
I now have to live without you but know that you are oh so near.
It was such a tragedy, something I will always fear.
I have come to accept it now that you are not here with me.
I guess it was fate, something that was meant to be.
If it were my decision, you would still be here.
It seems that you have disappeared.
My heart has lost you; it hurts just to think
You were here one moment, then you were gone in a blink.
I miss your smile. I miss your face.
I miss your warm and tender embrace.
Who would have known how it would have ended? Who would have known?
I know that because of you, my heart will always be alone.
I am keeping my heart open, trying to be strong.
Loving a woman like you can never be wrong. -
20. Pieces Of My Heart
One thing I know for sure
is that words could never take the place,
the place of how I feel.
I keep saying I'll never love again,
but every time I see you,
I see your smile and feel your warm touch.
I fall so deep for you.
You say you love her and not me.
I let you go, but you keep coming back,
leaving my heart shredded
every time you walk away.
Holding on till the day
when you come back
with the missing pieces of my heart.
