Missing You Poems for Him or Her

Being in a relationship is an all consuming affair. Whether your relationship has ended, your lover is away, in jail or gone for a while, you are now dealing with a large void in your life. An excellent way to deal with these painful feelings is through poetry. Sharing a poem with your lover or just reading poetry expressing how much you miss them is therapeutic. Grieving for your loss is a long process including denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Support from family and friends can be invaluable. Take all the time you need.

By Marcella Myer

I wrote this for my boyfriend who is away in prison He showed me what real love is

Each day I spent without you makes me miss you so very much
Each night I dream about you
I long to feel your touch
If I could just see your face or kiss your gentle lips
If I could only hear your voice
All these little things I miss
So I just want you to know
There's nothing I wouldn't do
If I could just once again Be With You

I was missing my boyfriend this night, he was out of town working.

You were on my mind when I woke up this morning.
Remembering your smile
I guess the next time I'll see your face
Might take a little while.

I was remembering your arms around me
The way they always felt warm
And having you right by my side
I completely felt no harm.

I was remembering your voice
It makes my heart skip a beat
but without you my love
my body feels so weak.

I was remembering our times
all the good and bad
the funny times you cheered me up
and especially the sad.

I was remembering your eyes
how they always meet mine
remembering all the things you do
to make my life worthwhile.

I was wondering when we'll be together
when it will be just us two
I guess I'm just missing you
more than I usually do.

By Traci Crawford

I'm in recovery in rehab & my fiance is standing by me I miss him so much

Each morning I wake up
thinking of you
I remember you're not with me
and it makes me feel blue
I miss your smile
I miss your touch
Sometimes my heart aches
I miss you so much
I call you on the telephone
I write to you in a letter
You always tell me I'm not alone
You always make me feel better
I'm writing this to let you know
just how much I love you so
Even though we're miles apart
your right here beside me
inside my heart

By David L Yearwood

Many couples fall in love, start a relationship, but are far apart from each other. Telling your love one your true feelings about missing them, thinking about them, warm feelings inside is healthy for each other to know. Express yourself in loving terms!

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

So far away, yet always so near,
you're the reason I'm in love.
I await the times, when we talk all night.
I await the times our hands come together.

To feel you close, is my true desire,
our eyes come together, like a million stars.
You shine so brightly, I'm blind for a moment,
your smile so sweet, it makes me dizzy!

I await the time, when we embrace each other,
To hear you say, I love you too!
Even though you aren't here,
I still miss you so.
I'll love you forever, so far away my love!

By Kay Salady

I cannot seem to find perspective. It seems I’ve lost my point-of-view.
Your words were sweet. You were selective in choosing them. When I saw you,
I fell apart, and all the barriers that I had set came tumbling down.
My mind and heart fused together, as you and I, whirling around.
This senseless love that spins in the darkness of an eclipsed moon has gone astray,
picked up its’ light as sparks flew brightly across our sky, in such a way
that took my breath, that stopped my heartbeat, as a great light soared through the sky.
I was blinded by the white heat that took me down then raised me high.
All for your kiss, I sailed the seas and crossed the desert’s arid sand.
I risked my life all for the honor, for the touch, of your sweet hand.
The aching pain of craving the luxury to rest upon my lover’s chest
drove me insane as I surrendered all that I am for I am blessed
to know this love that’s all-consuming, that fills my soul beyond compare.
This fragrant rose that’s ever blooming emits a perfume that is so rare.
I inhaled you within my being; now you are sailing inside my sea.
Forever love, I will be dreaming to be with you eternally.
My star had melted into morning as the dawn sent him away.
I am alone in the bright sunlight and I can’t find the words to say
how lost I am inside this vacuum. There is no color and there’s no sound.
I cannot smell your fragrant perfume. I wonder why it can’t be found.
It seems I’ve lost all my perception and I am frozen in deep despair.
I’ve lost the path I’d longed to follow. My way is you and you’re not here.

By Dawid Conradie

This poem I wrote was to express how much I miss the love of my life.

Sitting alone under the stars so bright,
I wish you were here holding me tight.
Everyday without you feels like eternity,
I wish the day will come that you can be with me.
I miss your touch, your embrace, your smell,
Why am I in this hole, my personal hell.
I miss you so much I can't help to cry,
So much loneliness I'm about to die.
The memories we shared all seems but a dream,
But then I remember your sweetest word,
That you love me and need me, I start to scream.
My love please come back I need your breath,
I will love you forever even after death.

By Praveen

the sound of silence grows,
every minute feels like a hour,
every hour feels like a day,
as I sit in in the cold light of morning;

its far too late, too late
to pick up my heart from the floor,
as it lay in pieces,
right where you threw it yesterday night;

little by little,
strangers became friends,
friends became lovers,
and suddenly, lovers became strangers;

I am lying here,
lying next to where you left me in pieces,
can’t move, can’t scream,
with only silence for company;

the tick tock of the clock and,
the beat of my heart grows louder and louder,
shrouded by a mystery,
I feel so alone;

as the melody of love fades into the distance,
the screams of silence is all that remains,
lost in the shadows of life,
I am here, Alone, in a crowded room!

By Jon Hart

I was inspired to write this when visiting a place we had been together. It stirred some lovely memories.

I sit on our hill
There is silence, except for the breath of the world
It caresses the leaves softly
Tenuously, as I imagine my hand would touch your face

It stirs dormant memories
Precious baubles fill my consciousness
A smile, a laugh, a caress, a scent
Your touch, your embrace, your kiss

The Autumn sun warms my face
Awakens me
As I walk away, eyes closed
I can feel your hand in mine

10
By Brian Russell

As I sit here and watch the cars drive by fast
Enjoying the day, I dream of the past
I think of the love of times long ago
When we were so young and I was your beau
But the day is too pretty for me to be sad
So I sit and I smile with memories we had
We got into trouble but we sure had fun
Fantabulous times, I miss you a ton
The sun is now setting. Before I'm lonely and blue,
I will sit, I’ll have faith, in our God; He is true.

By Skylar

My mother passes away only last year from a self inflicting overdoes. She's always had trouble through my early childhood go into rehab, getting sober, then hitting the pills again. I knew that one day this was going to kill her and I did nothing to stop it. If you or someone you know is struggling, help them. They just need someone to hang on to. That's something I did not do for my mother and I lost her at 15. One year later I'm still blaming myself for it. Don't make the same mistakes I did.

I remember laying in bed,
Thinking of you and feeling such dread

I felt a pain and all the cracks,
I did not realize I would never get you back

My tears were sudden and none withstanding,
My grief, a shriek, my pain overbearing

I only I knew all your own sorrow and pain,
I would have tried to save you I had so much to gain

But I was to late and you let me go
Now I just wish for you to know
I love you and it will always grow

By Gabriel Gadfly

It seem as if he doesn't care she was leaving but it was really because he can't bear to wake up and find her gone.

I know you must wake
and go to work,
but do this for me:
go quietly as you can.

I am selfish and
I do not want to be
disturbed by your leaving.

Dress with the lights off,
underwear and blouse,
the black skirt you laid
on the dresser last night.

Your heels are beside
the door, your earrings
in the bowl with your
car keys. Go quietly.

I am selfish and
know I’ll wake up
and find you gone.

I would like to put
that off as long as
possible.

When I’m missing you,
I walk to the river’s edge.
Frozen or free-flowing,
it soothes me;
sends me back to our small adventures.
Stargazing. Fireflies.
All-day swimming.
Long goodbyes.
No matter how cold it is outside,
our summers warm me,
and we’re together again.

By Elijah

I dedicated this to a beautiful woman, my first love , I left her at one time and upon realizing what she was worth I realized that I could never get her back again and so I made a gift to my longing soul these comforting words which I'd like to share with all of you.

At the thought of you
my eyes love teary drops
It makes me smile but at times weary
How can one love a woman so much
When a memory of you plays in my mind
I know everything about expression
I know pain with a glass in hands
I sleep with the radio on because I miss you
I hear your swift sweet sighs of breath
You make anew what grief destroyed
Your the reviver of old departed memories
I'm a man and I got to let a woman go
You're moving forward in another man's arms
I hope he sees nature doesn't make one like you
Can't you see it's got to be the Lord
Who makes you so beautiful
And everything that He done touched
Like your Mind, Body and soul
Is enough to be my world
It's not a fluke
that I'm still here waiting for you
That if you drop a glass
A glass in thousand pieces
Can mirror my heart

I was lying in bed the other night, unable to sleep. I've had a pretty rough time of it lately and the thoughts running through my head have been driving me insane, so I decided to write down exactly how I was feeling and the pain I was feeling. I actually surprised myself when I read it back. Hope you enjoy.

I lay here fighting these evil thoughts inside my head;
Is it me or is true love just really dead?;
Hoping, praying, wishing, caring;
One day when I wake I hope and pray to find you staring;
Back at me like you did all those years ago;
When life was simple and our love began to grow;
These thoughts are killing me, my brain won't let me sleep;
Can't drink can't eat can't breath without the beat;
Of your heart laying smack bang right next to me;
My life's just spiraling way out of control;
My heart is crying because the devil stole my soul;
This ain't no normal overdose;
When my body wants to comatose;
I try to handle all this fucked up shit traditionally;
Why can't you believe me when I say I that I love you unconditionally;
Empty thoughts and shattered dreams;
My pain runs longer than a league of streams;
I hope soon you lay there in your bed, unable to sleep cos the devils in your head;
Do you even think of me when you're lying in your bed?;
Some day soon you will understand my pain and just before you go reaching for some lead;
Maybe you will ask yourself,
Is true love really dead?

This poem is about the regret and loss I feel at losing my beloved girlfriend and best friend. It is a collection of hopes, thoughts and ideas that have filled my head since we have been apart. It shows my desire to have her back in my life.

I wish I could be where you are,
To feel the warmth of your embrace,
''Tu me manques my darling!'' Is all that I can say.

The snow it drifts upon me,
With shards of memories,
I long to kiss your lips,
For they stir sweet melodies.

A hug, cuddle or touch would ease my aching soul,
I long to be with you,
For you are what makes me whole...

By Shanike Priyananda

This poem is about my ex-girlfriend. This is my first poem. So I don''t think this is a good poem. But I think I did my best.

Every moment I spent with you
Was like a beautiful dream come true
It was the best dream I ever saw
More colorful than a rainbow
Your pretty voice is echoing in my ear
The splendid sound I ever hear
No Nightingale's song
Can compare to your glamorous tone
Those alighting brown eyes
As bright as twinkling stars in the sky
I always wanted to hold your hand
Between my arms close to my heart
My wish was to hug you hard
And listen to the beat of your heart

I can still feel your smell
The wonderful charming spell
You taught me about love
Your love made my life alive
Whenever I see your face
My whole heart fills with grace
My life was like a dark cold night
You were the only luminaire warming light
My dream was to see your smile
And walk with you all over this glorious isle
You were the queen of my dream worlds
I don't know how to explain my feelings in words
But, when you leave me alone with the feeling of spleen
I could realize that was just a daydream...............

Rushed into love, with someone in love with another.

What has me up all night, what has me so restless at night.
What has me so distressed at night.
So messed up I'm not sure what to do kinda night.
Thoughts of a future,
thoughts of a family,
thoughts of running just to hold you all night.
Yeah my mind, my mind runs away to you.
I loose control and can't seem to find my way back to sane.
So this has me up all night.
Up all night.
The very thought of you takes my mind away.
Away to a better place, away to a better way.
Away.
Away.
I can see how this ends.
Every time I see you I realize how much I need you.
How much I need just a sign from you.
Is the thought of this alright for me to feel or wrong to even think of you.

What I feel, always. That is my emotional state.

I have tried every
trick in the book, and
yet I still cannot get you out of my
mind. I cannot stop this wave
of emotion that sweeps over me whenever your
name or face pops into my head.
My friends don’t get it,
you probably don’t get it,
heck, I cannot even begin to fathom its
true meaning.
The hot bubbling feeling that starts near your stomach
and rises quickly to your heart,
you know
the one... the one you get when you
see a relative you have not seen for a long time, or when you
think of a lost pet.
That brief feeling of pure ecstasy that gets swept over by a wave of sadness and distress.
That is what I feel, always.
That is my emotional state.
