Beautiful Poem!! Great words, my boyfriend soon to be husband has served 1year 5 months and is soon to be released in March 2011 and I cannot wait!!! This time has been hell for us both. It kills me that I can't see him, touch him, kiss him everyday. It is very difficult to just get on with things like normal. The hardest thing is seeing other couples enjoying each other, thinking to myself that should be us right now!! But hey I say this to all the people who is waiting for their partner, be strong look forward to the future. Because one fine day they will be back in your arms. Things like this happen for a reason I believe, it can only make you stronger! Good luck people.

I loved the poem, very well said :) My husband just went to jail last week to serve 53 months. He did 3 months last summer but I posted bail to spend a little time with him before his sentencing. It didn't feel like enough. I can't find the words for how I feel but I know I love him to death and I will continue to be there for him. I am terrified of how this time will hurt without him here with me. We have two children that will also miss him dearly. All I can do is stay strong for my family and pray that this time will move fast. I am so glad to hear that your husband is out and you two are doing well, that helps.

My boyfriend was sentenced in December, it has been 7 long months without him. He has no clue when he is getting out, they are trying to blame him for something else he didn't even do. He is in jail now, but he might be sentenced for 5 years in prison. I just can't imagine myself without him for that long of time. Right now it seems like no one is giving us a break. I love him with everything I have, I promised him I would stick by him the whole time he is locked up, and I'm going to keep that promise. It might be hard but when I look at his letters or his picture, it seems to be a lot easier. I just want all the ladies who have a love one locked up, to not give up, if you love your man you will stick by them.

This poem was amazing - it brought me to tears the first time I read it... Thank you all - everyone on this site has been so inspiring. It feels so good to know others are out there feeling just like me. My baby left 2 months ago and not a moment goes by that I don't think about him. I love him so much. Thank you for reminding me that a happy ending is waiting, and that I just have to stay strong - for us both...

It's been more than a year since my boyfriend got locked up and it hurts me so much cuz when he left I was 6 months pregnant. Now my baby is about to be one year and he still doesn't know his father. We been together 4 years and I miss him so much. When I read this poem it made me cry, I wrote it down and send it to him. I love him so much I don't know if I'm gonna be able to take all of this..

Awwww I loved this poem!!! My hubby just got locked up and he's been in jail before but never since we met and had my lil girl..... So it's only been 2 weeks that he's been away and hopefully won't do more than 3 months. Yet I can't help not to feel like crap!!!! And the words in this poem are so perfect to send it to him and bring tears to his eyes like it did to me!!! Thanks Susan and I'm glad your GAME came true!!!!=)

Hi everyone - I am so glad everyone enjoyed my poem, I posted it for the exact reason you enjoyed it-I knew there were so many other people out there going through the same thing. I searched for a poem to send my boyfriend and never quite found the right one- so I wrote one, even though I never knew I could. Stand by your man/woman - be loyal and loving- he or she needs you now more than ever. I wrote this poem in 2008, well - my man is home now and we got married and I can tell you - for me - the time he was away brought us so close. My devotion to him sealed our love and we are very happy together. Good luck to all of you!

Well said! I never thought it could be so hard... Does anyone have ideas on cute lil things I could send to him or bring him? I want to constantly remind him that I'm still here and that he has to just push on through this b.s. and we'll be together again soon.

Amazing, my boyfriend just yesterday was sentenced. He's my other half, my world. we have spent every waking moment together, never fight always happy. we were perfect together. I feel like God is punishing me for something, he took something away from me so magical and it kills me every second. I can't eat I can't sleep and I don't even want to do anything fun. he wrote me a letter before he got sentenced for me to read but I just can't do it, it will tear me apart. His sentence is for 18 months but the judge said if he's good he can get out in 6 months. For 3-4 months he will be in a correction center then the last then low security prison. He's just 20 and was sentenced for a crime he didn't do. I miss him so much I'm dying every second inside..

My fiancé has been locked up for 7 months now, and I've been totally faithful to him 100%... He was sentenced to 5 years, but will probably only have to serve 18-24 months.. I pray everyday that he gets out early somehow.. I miss him so much and I'm not sure how to act when he comes home because he has completely changed.. anyway like someone said, our men will come home to us soon..

I really liked the poem and it relates a lot to everyone feelings I think. My boyfriend went to prison on Tuesday and he hasn't been gone a week and I am going crazy! He will be gone for 8 years ... and I don't know how I am going to make it I talked to him yesterday but now that he's gone to some place he wont be able to call or anything for like 4 to 6 weeks but I am going to stay busy and just wait for that call I'm sure we all feel the same. Man I hope that these eight years go by super fast

I really enjoyed the poem and to know that I'm not the only one alone in this so thanks ladies. my baby just went to jail yesterday morning and I'm going crazy I already wrote 2 letters in one day, It's so hard to lose someone you love I just can't stop thinking about him.

I loved this poem it is so touching. Recently my boyfriend went to jail. We have only dated 2 months but we have known each other for about 4 years. I like to play games like that just close my eyes and pretend he is right next to me. The letters really help a lot, I couldn't stop crying when I got the first letter. No matter what I love him.

I know how you feel my man is locked up and he been in there for two weeks now and I have a hard time dealing with it cause we were never apart this long and I hate being alone. I am depressed and lonely. And it is really hard to accept that I'm not going to be able to see him whenever I want. I get to visit him twice a week but it sucks because it's through a glass window and on a phone can't touch him or kiss him well should I get punished when I didn't do anything wrong. I will be out here waiting on him like a wonderful girlfriend cause I love him with all my heart and soul and anyone else out there that is going through what I'm going through, I would like to talk so I'm not so lonely..
Thanks for the poem it was great made me cry....

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.

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..

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.

I am sorry to you. My brother is in prison and I cannot imagine his pain and his girlfriend's pain. It must be so great. The man I love my husband of 10 years was in jail for 17 days in the beginning of our relationship for something that was not his fault and it was terrible. SO unfair especially when in the end it was not his fault and they knew. They don't say sorry...they just say go home. Ugh.

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 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.

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.
