Boyfriend Poem

This poem is about dealing with a long distance relationship that is emotionally straining. He was my first boyfriend and the only guy I can really see myself with. Our only problem is that we are far apart and he doesn't give me the attention that I need sometimes. I get really frustrated and worry if he does care about me the way that I do for him. Then it's like he calls and I forget that I ever had any problem. He truly did save me in a time I needed saving, so I thought I would write this poem and someday maybe I'll read it to him.

Uncertainty

Published by Family Friend Poems January 2009 with permission of the Author.

Do you care about me
Does anyone love me
Why don't you call
Why do I think about you constantly
I need to get you off my mind
'Cause you are killing me slowly

I want to say I love you
But you wouldn't understand me
I fear rejection
Although I try to appear tough
I'm a fragile soul
Love me, hold me, kiss me
Please, I'm begging you don't hurt me
All I want is to be loved and love

Life is very simple
I don't want to argue
I hate yelling
Stop bringing me down
Why can't we all get along
Am I doing something wrong

When I'm with you I'm in ecstasy
We don't even have to do anything and I'm the happiest girl in the world
I just know everything is going to be all right
Your embrace takes away all my problems and pain
You bring me hope
You bring me life

When I first saw you I have to admit nothing really moved inside of me
I didn't know you, you were foreign, and I even thought you were shy
I was excited, maybe a new friend
As I got to know you I knew you were someone special
You were more than your amazingly hot, sexy body
You had a tender, loving side that I grew to adore
I grew to love your dorky but unforgettably cute smile
The clean fresh soapy smell of your skin
Your touchable soft smooth kissable cheeks
Your protective embrace and your loving compliments
Your love of ducks and your ability to know when something is wrong

Our first date I will never forget
Without even trying the true me came out
No guy has ever done that so fast
It was an indescribable feeling of bliss
For so long you don't know how much I just wanted to be loved
How much I wanted to feel the warmth of someone's embrace
How much I wanted to be on someone's mind
Someone to call me hot, beautiful, or pretty
You gave me that and I will never forget it

You were the first guy I was totally comfortable around
The first guy who had the courage enough to ask me on a real date
The first guy I really truly kissed
The first guy who took away my fears
The first guy who gave me hope for a brighter future

You rescued me in a time when I needed rescuing

I never thought I'd be the jealous, selfish type
I might not show it, but I am
I will give you your space, time by yourself
But don't forget me
I need lots of attention
Especially by you
I'm a pretty simple soul
All I need is love to grow and be sustained
In return I will give you a love that is unshakeable and true
I just want your love, no one else's

I am in a relationship with my first crush. He's really great and I love him. I tried to tell him but he told me it was too early to say we love each other, he says he's crazy about me, we've been dating for 3 months now, but I've never had love. He says he just wants to have fun I really love him but I am not sure he feels the same he compliments me and notices all the small things about me. Is that a way of him telling me he loves me. He notices all and I mean all the small things I do.

Wow, This poem is so deep and amazing! I feel this way about my boyfriend although we're not long distance. Sometimes, through the hard times we all just need reassuring that we're still in for a full ride. I feel so much of this poem! I should read this to him :)!

My best friend and I are really close and we really like each other but he lives some three hundred miles away! He used to always want to call me and hear my voice, but now he hardly every texts me! Sometimes it feel like he doesn't love me and then outta no where he'll txt me the simplest thing that makes me fall for him all over again. I really really like him and I don't want to lose him. I haven't seen him for six months and I miss him like CRAZY! I'll be seeing him soon when I head off to church camp in another six months. He's a great kid and I can't wait to be back in his arms! :')

I love this poem. I am in the same situation, and feel the same way sometimes. Not the easiest thing to do.

I really can connect to this poem. my boyfriend lives in Canada right now while I'm stuck in America. And I love him so much I can't stand it. but sometimes he can be a jerk, other times he's a sweetheart.

This poem really hit home with me!! Made me think of a very special man I once had 8 years ago!! And to this day I still want, need, and love him. No other has ever had my heart the way he still does!! I really wish I could change the way things ended up cause if I could I'd be his wife by now!!

I loved this poem it was very nice and I thought that I could see myself in this poem. I just got left by a boy who was all of these characteristics and I very much liked it. it has put more hope in my life that someone has gone through the same thing. THANK YOU!!!
