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.

Poem About Missing Boyfriend In Jail

Let me tell you about a game I play
Where I close my eyes and fade away

I float away to a special place

Let 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 again

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.

I Miss What We Had Poem

I remember how it used to be
when nothing else matter but you and me.
Music, country roads, and future dreams.

I 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.

Poem Of Loneliness And Longing

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.

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.

Poem About Forbidden Love

I love you with a love that's forbidden, yet I can't stop.
You make me feel like no man has ever made me feel before.
With just a look I swoon.
I dream of your arms around me, your lips on mine.

I love you with a love that's forbidden, yet I can't stop.
You make me feel like no man has ever made me feel before.
With just a look I swoon.
I dream of your arms around me, your lips on mine.
When you look at me,
my soul shudders with joy.
My heart skips a beat.
In my dreams I am sexy to you, and there's no end to the pleasure I can give you.
I am loving you with a soft, gentle love
that would shake you to the core.
In my dreams I feel you near me,
around me,
in me.
I want to love you openly
without fear or reservation,
but this is a forbidden love,
so I hide it,
keep it in secret and love you only in my dreams.
For only in my dreams am I acceptable to you.
Only in my dreams can my fantasies be realized.
I LOVE YOU!

6. The Love Of My Life

I wrote this poem for the love of my life. She has come in and out of my life for over twenty years now. I always knew that I loved her but did not realize until recently that she was the only woman that I have ever truly loved.
- By Dave
- Published: September 2008 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
To the love of my life,
though fate never allowed me to make you my wife.
When we met so many years ago,
it was love at first sight that I know.

To the love of my life,
though fate never allowed me to make you my wife.
When we met so many years ago,
it was love at first sight that I know.
I loved you so much and for only you I cared,
but with you those feelings I never shared.
Then I learned for another you cared.
To come between you I never dared.
Not because I did not want to,
but because I wanted happiness for you.
Then to the arms of another I did go,
but with her, love I never did know.
For this I now know that I was wrong,
for all these years your love I've longed.
Of you I have thought throughout the years.
For you I have shed so many tears.
So long ago I solemnly vowed
to tell of my love if fate allowed.
Our paths crossed again not so long ago.
I remembered the vow of my love you should know.
Before I could tell you, you gave a surprise.
You told me you loved me and brought tears to my eyes.
You told of your love and how much you cared,
how you felt sad that this you had not shared.
You said that you felt you had told me too late
and for this you said you I must hate.
But it is you I love and never could hate
To know of your love is never too late.
You told me of things you wanted to do,
all of this and more I have wanted too.
All this time I have dreamed of your touch.
To know you wanted the same means so much.
We have shared so much from the present and past.
I have prayed so much that this would last.
You have told me that what we want is wrong.
How can this be when we have loved so long?
Something happened and we fell apart
Crushing my dreams and breaking my heart.
To love you was a gift from above.
The gift of time, the gift of love.
My heart won't allow me to let you go.
It wants and misses you so.
I tried to leave to mend the pain,
but is about to drive me insane.
Saddened and hurting, my heart goes on,
knowing again that you are gone.
Because in your hands is where my heart lies,
alone and depressed it sadly cries.
Please know that this is how I truly feel
because twice in my life you have made it all real.
I know you had feelings that you just would not show.
I know that it hurts when you want to let go.
My actions say yes but heart still says no.
I will never get to feel your most intimate touch.
God knows though I love and miss you so much.
I love you with my heart and soul.
You made me feel loved, you made me feel whole.
I have always known that you are the one for me.
I still believe though you say it can't be.
There is one thing that I have to say.
I love you too much to just walk away.
We said goodbye, but I want you to know.
Goodbye is goodbye but not forever though.

Night falls and morning comes and still no sign of you
I wonder what you're doing and wished I were there with you

I think about you every day

Night falls and morning comes and still no sign of you

But until we find each other all I can do
Is dream of us together, alone just me and you

Poem About Remembering A Lover

What we have is something new,
Our love for each other has always been true.
We met in a very uncertain way,
but if it wasn't for that,

What we have is something new,
Our love for each other has always been true.
We met in a very uncertain way,
but if it wasn't for that,
I wouldn't know you today.

You're my life, my world, my everything indeed
Our love just keeps growing like a sunflower seed.
What we had, I cannot explain,
but you never argued and never complained.

We laughed, we cried, we put so much in store.
We'll hold our memories in our hearts forevermore.

Over the years, we fell apart,
but I'm hoping one day,
we'll have a new start.

So as time goes by and others come through,
I still remember our love
and everything about you.

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.'

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.

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

The night wind revolves in the sky and sings.

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.

Through nights like this one I held her in my arms
I kissed her again and again under the endless sky.

She loved me sometimes, and I loved her too.
How could one not have loved her great still eyes.

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
To think that I do not have her. To feel that I have lost her.

To hear the immense night, still more immense without her.
And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture.

What does it matter that my love could not keep her.
The night is shattered and she is not with me.

This is all. In the distance someone is singing. In the distance.
My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.

My sight searches for her as though to go to her.
My heart looks for her, and she is not with me.

The same night whitening the same trees.
We, of that time, are no longer the same.

I no longer love her, that's certain, but how I loved her.
My voice tried to find the wind to touch her hearing.

Another's. She will be another's. Like my kisses before.
Her voice. Her bright body. Her infinite eyes.

I no longer love her, that's certain, but maybe I love her.
Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

Because through nights like this one I held her in my arms
my soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.

Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer
and these the last verses that I write for her.

I Lost My Chance With You Poem

I could dream of you forever,
But it wouldn't put me beside you.

I could call your name on end,

I could dream of you forever,
But it wouldn't put me beside you.

I could call your name on end,
But you'll never hear me.

I could ask a million questions,
But I'll never get the answer I want.

I could write a hundred poems,
But you would still never understand.

I could have said it before it was time to leave,
But I said it in a little note.

I could try to forget what I feel,
But I've pushed too much out already.

I could lie to myself,
But lying exhausts the soul.

I could give up on you,
But too much of me still loves you.

I'm so tired of this empty feeling.

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.

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.

Complicating A Friendship

So vibrant, so honest, so wild and free.

I miss the way you would understand,

I 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.

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.

What has happened is never spoken,
And everything around me has been broken.
There's no words, just silence.
Hate but no violence.
Sadness without tears.
Humans without fears.

When will the ground break?
Where is the open gate?
Slowly, the darkness creeps,
But still, no one weeps.
All are withering.
Hearts are shriveling.

This world has grown cold.
There's no one left to hold.
I fear that I, too, will join them soon
Just when the light fades from the moon.
My beloved has been turned into a dove,
And now I know what becomes of this world,
Without his love.

My heart has been broken,
My feelings shattered.
I will never feel the same with any other woman,
I'm far from flattered.
I'm missing you more than ever,
You gave my heart a reason to beat
Love is just a friendship on fire,
But we finally lost the heat.
I'm missing you to this day,
But you probably don't feel the same.
Now I'm sitting here wondering if you still remember my name.

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.

I'll Always Be Around

Although you are so far away
You're always in my thoughts
I understand the circumstance
Is dealt with by the courts.

Although you are so far away
You're always in my thoughts
I understand the circumstance
Is dealt with by the courts.

Bars will not stop me thinking
Of the bloke I knew before
Circumstance will not dictate
And neither will the law.

I miss the freedom that we shared
I miss your carefree laugh
But hopefully the lessons learned
Will take another path.

So keep hopes high and don't forget
I'll always be around
I'll always be that special one
Who helps you when you're down.

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...

Never 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...

Still Thinking Of Ex Poem

I ask myself why am I thinking of you so much.
I think about all the moments we shared together and the way we touched.
You know that this was hard for me,
but you decided not to see.

I ask myself why am I thinking of you so much.
I think about all the moments we shared together and the way we touched.
You know that this was hard for me,
but you decided not to see.
I know I'm still stuck in my past,
but I had a feeling that this was going to last.
I guess my heart was wrong,
Why couldn't I live through it and not stay strong?
Thinking of you makes me feel this way.
"Why couldn't I just stay?"
I ask myself that every day.
Hold on! I had a reason why.
Now that I think of it, I want to cry.
Still feeling you so much.
I still think of the moment when we touch.

You Left Me Alone

You left me alone, I didn't cry.
I didn't call, you didn't try.
Out of all the things I chose you.
I said I love you, I really do.

You left me alone, I didn't cry.
I didn't call, you didn't try.
Out of all the things I chose you.
I said I love you, I really do.

But now that you are with her,
I don't know why I really care.
I tried to get over you,
But I realized that my love is true.

I did all I could to forget,
But I couldn't do it, you bet.
I waited for you on cold nights
And watched over you from great heights.

Now that you have forgotten me,
I always stand under the tree,
Waiting for you to hold me tight,
And then I see you with her at night.
Finally, you start coming to the tree,
Just to say you never loved me.

This is so sad. I'm so sorry. You loved him with all your heart, but he...just...I don't even know what to say. It's like he just left you there to rot and die. This is just so sad.

19. What Was I Thinking?

Never wait to apologize to the ones you love. I waited 3 weeks not telling someone sorry. I've lived the last 7-8 months of my life regretting that because she was my heart, my everything. If this helps anyone, even a bit, I will be glad. Thanks for reading my thoughts. I miss you, Steph.

The night before I made you mad
I wasn't appreciating the love that I had
I came home so drunk, I was really quite late
I left you alone, sitting home there to wait

The night before I made you mad
I wasn't appreciating the love that I had
I came home so drunk, I was really quite late
I left you alone, sitting home there to wait

I was too self-involved, I wasn't using my head
Alcohol took over, its hunger I fed
I was drinking too often, I thought I was fine
Too blinded to realize the problem was all mine

I was never mad at you, I was mad at myself
I let life pass me by, seemed it was on the back shelf
I blamed all of my problems on everyone but me
Destined for ruins and alone I would be

I made a bad choice, I should have been there with you
My greatest mistake, and there was nothing I could do
I tried to get sober that night but made it worse than you know
I hated myself 'cause I resorted to blow

That night I never came home, cause I felt too much shame
You'd be able to tell, and there was only me I could blame
I text you that night to say tomorrow I would call
The next day with a hangover, I would forget that all

I went through my next days, scared you'd be mad
Hiding ashamed, not thinking you were sad
I forgot I had hurt you, I couldn't remember last night
My words cut you deep, on the phone in our fight

You wanted to love me, to work through it all out
I didn't know that, I was too scared you would shout
I gave it some time to get my head straight
I took way too long, how long should you wait?

You had now left me when I got my priorities in line
I wanted to marry you, but you were no longer mine
I cried and I lost it, how could I mess up so bad
This had all happened 'cause I spent to much time being mad

I got over my issues, I finally see clear
I was drinking and hiding, I had too much fear
The old me is gone, but how could you know
I wish I still had you, how I wish that was so

I'm sorry, Bunny (S.A.M.), I miss you every day

20. Wrong Was Right All Along

I don't know why I wrote this...It just came out of me...But..maybe...

She HATES him,
With all her heart and all her soul.

He was hopeless,

She HATES him,
With all her heart and all her soul.

He was hopeless,
He couldn't do anything right.

When she was in darkness, he offered her no light,
Instead he joined her.
When she was down, he didn't lift her up,
Instead he joined her.
When she cried, he didn't make her laugh,
Instead he joined her.
When she was wounded, he did not cure her,
Instead he joined her.

In the end she couldn't take it,
She told him to leave,
For once he did the right thing...
He left.

Watching the flowers fall to the ground,
She realized her mistake,
His love, after all, wasn't fake,
So she waited...and waited...

She LOVES him,
With all her heart and all her soul.

Looks like the things he did,
were right all along.
