I Miss You Poem

Next Poem >>

This was written to my boyfriend in jail while I was missing him more than words can describe.

The Game

©  Susan Christensen
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
The Game by Susan Christensen @FamilyFriendPoems

Thank you for your poem, I've been looking for words of comfort like this for a while to share with my boyfriend who is also in jail. Much love to all who are going through the same thing xx

Recently my girl got put in jail for a crime she did not do and part of her punishment was to not have contact with me. I miss her so much and ill wait on her no matter how long it takes even if its till the day I die. I love her and this poem somewhat explains it, the rest of the feelings cant be put in words.

My husband is in jail now and is waiting to go to prison. I have a lot of regrets about how we spent the last few weeks together. We fussed and wasted what little time we had left. We have a little girl together and it's just real hard. I love him so dearly, and miss him so desperately. I can't imagine the next year and a half without him. I guess I didn't realize how much I counted on him until he was gone. I want him with us where he belongs. He was our rock and I just miss him and can hardly wait till we are spending our life together as a family again.

My boyfriend just went to jail recently and he is looking at 90 days for his first case and up to 5 years prison for his second case. It's only been a month and I miss him so much. I write him a letter a week and see him for 20 minutes three times a week and its never enough. My heart is broken and this is so hard for me. I try to find the words to explain to him how I feel about all of it and I read this poem and it's all there in very little words. Thank you so much

my boyfriend is in jail right now and I miss him terribly! we have a baby due in 2 months and we are hoping he will be out in time. his family and I love him and miss him very much!

wow, to the comment above, I think its crazy how someone you don't even know and doesn't know you can be going through the same thing as you. My boyfriend is in jail too & we also have a baby due soon. I miss him more than I ever thought I could miss anyone. It gets harder everyday, especially when you experience new things with the pregnancy and you wish he was there to experience it with you. I'm sorry to hear you are going through the same as me and I honestly wish you and your bf the best of luck. Congratulations on the little angel by the way.

And to everyone else, I wish you all the best of luck. You're strong women for being able to deal with being away from your loved ones for so long.

This poem made me cry it showed in so few words what women like us go through everyday our man is away. Stay strong ladies and stand by your man.

This poem pretty much summed up what I'm feeling. It brought tears to my eyes. I miss him so much!!

Well my husband is in prison pullin 2 years and we have a 2 year old little girl. I have 2 brothers and 1 cousin in prison as well. My husband and I are no longer together and now my boyfriend who I love dearly has been sent to prison. He helped me with my daughter so much and now my daughter cries for him, her daddy, her uncles and her cousin. When is this pain ever going to stop? I wish the devil would just leave my family alone. He's trying to take everyone from us to hurt us but we will make it thru. My boyfriend will love this poem. I'm glad I found it..

This is beautiful. I just printed a copy of it to send to my boyfriend. He just recently went to jail and I don't know how long he'll be in there. We've only been together for 4-5 months, but I think you know when you truly love someone. I miss him so much. I hope he enjoys this poem as much as I did.
