Love To Someone Far Away
Poet: Julie Hebert, ©2011
I wish we were so much closer,
So hard to share my love through the mail.
But I never will stop, sending my love,
To the one whom I will always prevail.
You're the one who's really for me,
I can't believe this is true but it is.
I'm excited to say, that our love on this day
Is full of so much excitement and fizz.
When distance makes it hard to say what is in your heart, these I Love You Poems offer heartfelt words to share with someone special.
Our Love Is Never Ending
Poet: Julie Hebert, ©2011
I know we can't stay here forever,
Even if I truly wanted it so.
So I'm asking for a favor, just something to savor,
Will you stay here with me so I know?
I want to know if our love will live forever,
Even if we can't be together.
If you promise with me, to always remember our glee,
I know our love will never wither.
More Certain
Poet: Nicholas Sparks
If anything, our time apart
Has only made me more certain that
I want to spend my nights by your side,
And my days with your heart.
You and Me
Poet: Julie Hebert, ©2011
Miss you, want to
Hug you, love you.
Need you, breath you,
Touch you, see you.
To love, to touch,
To see could be.
Something as special,
As you, and me.
These Thinking Of You Poems offer another way to let someone far away know they are never far from your thoughts.
Miles Apart
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Even though we are miles apart
I think of you and keep you in my heart.
The times we have had
Always make me feel glad.
I will be happy when you are back in my arms
I miss your smile and your charms
A day away from you
Always makes me feel blue
And now you are away for awhile
I find it hard just to smile.
But may my poems remind you
Of my love which is so true.
What Shall I Wish Thee, Dear?
Poet: Unknown
What shall I wish thee, Dear?
Many a joyous year,
Pleasure bestowing;
Life's sunshine warm and bright
Steeping thy path in light
Golden and glowing.
What shall I wish thee, Dear?
Many a happy year
Leading thee onward;
Bright blossoms at thy feet,
Hope breathing whispers sweet,
As thou goest onward.
What shall I wish thee, Dear?
Many a peaceful year —
From God the Giver —
Then a glad welcome home.
Where fadeless flowers shall bloom
Round thee forever.
Technology Brings Us Close
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
A text from you brightens my day,
Your voice on FaceTime melts worries away.
Though the miles may keep us apart,
Technology keeps you close to my heart.
No call or screen can take the place,
Of holding you in a warm embrace.
But until that moment when I see you,
These little connections help get us through.
When the miles make you miss someone even more, these I Miss You Poems can help put those feelings into words.
