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.

  11. 9. Tonight I Can Write The Saddest Lines

    This poem was published in 1924, just as Pablo Neruda entered his 20s. In this poem, the speaker is dealing with the end of a relationship and longing for the woman to be back in his arms. The repetition of, “Tonight I can write the saddest lines,” brings the reader’s attention to that theme throughout this sad love poem. Pablo Neruda used alliteration throughout this poem with many words beginning with “s” (saddest, shattered, stars, sky, soul, etc.).


    Tonight I can write the saddest lines.

    Write, for example, 'The night is shattered
    and the blue stars shiver in the distance.'

  14. 12. What I Miss...

    This poem is about the guy I fell in love with, my first real encounter with love and its cruel heartbreaks. He was my best friend; I told him everything. We felt like it was us against the world. Of course, something had to ruin it. I started to develop feelings for him. It complicated us. Our long nightly talks became a few short words to each other at school. Other girls' jealousy created rumors and lies. I told him how I felt and he just hurt me in return. This is how I feel about it now.

    I miss how we used to be,
    So vibrant, so honest, so wild and free.

    I miss the way you would understand,

  15. 13. Without His Love

    This was a dark time in my life, not just mine, but others as well. I loved him and had no one to turn to and slipped into depression. I didn't cry for the longest time, but things eventually catch up to you. This is my way of letting it all out.

  17. 15. Time

    This is a poem that I sent to a guy who I have loved for a long time. We live at different ends of the country and had not spoken in 2 years. He got back in touch with me 2 months before he got sent down. I was so so happy to hear from him again. Every time my phone would beep my heart would skip a beat. Then one day, I looked at my phone and there was an phone message. It was of him telling me that we would have to wait longer than planned to meet up again as he had been sent to prison.
