Too many nights alone without you by my side
Take a look at my face: rings runnin' around my eyes
I can't eat or sleep, thoughts of you consume my mind
I know this time's hard for us, but we've just got to try
Never in my wildest dreams could I've imagined such loneliness
I miss that look in your eyes, your kiss, your sweet caress
Only a little longer, Love, then our waiting will be thru
Gonna hold you close to me and never stop saying, "I love you"
Too many nights alone without you by my side
This bed is much too big, I toss and turn every night
That's not all that's empty, my soul continues to cry
I know our love is strong - we will make it, you and I
We knew we had to part, not knowing how long it'd be
Now with each passing day when next we meet is unsure to me
Separated by states and too many miles in between
But if you listen closely you'll hear my heart scream
Too many nights
alone
without you...
Author notes
12. Distance never separates two hearts that really care, for our memories span the miles and in seconds we are there. But whenever I start feeling sad, because I miss you, I remind myself how lucky I am to have someone so special to miss.

WOW
This poem brought me to tears.
Really good poem. Excellent poem.
-
I'm pretty sure I almost cried reading this. It's excellent and it's all the words I've been trying to say in my own writings that I haven't been able to find!
-
This is very beautifully written.
I can really relate to this poem of
yours. It's such a difficult position
to find yourself in. Long distance
relationships can be very challenging
but, so rewarding in the end. I hope
that everything works out for you my
friend and may both of your loving
hearts be reunited again very soon!
Take care and thanks a lot for sharing
this piece here. Good luck to you in
this contest!

OMG! This is so sad yet so sweet. I am loving both you and your wifes poetry. They make me feel deeply. This actually brought tears to my eyes because the 2 days me and Luis were apart felt like eternity so I could really feel the pain in these words. You are an amazing poet. I love how the words come from the heart.

If I did not know better I would have believed she wrote this...it is straight from her heart...the seperation of loved ones weighs hard on a soul...they have a year left before they can be together...this is so soft and true...lovely words of loneiness and hope...
thank you for entering!

thank you, mystic~
there was a time before my wife and i were married that i had to drive literally 1,000 miles to get to her. with work and lack of days off, things got pretty stressed as far as distance & seeing each other. i dedicated this write (originally a song) to her, and we did cross the miles and time has paid off.
i'd encourage your AP daughter to use this time and this site to write out her feelings, what she's going thru, maybe like a poetic journal, and perhaps she can share them with her beloved when she can. this site has helped lisa and i, we still use it to show our affections!

They are in two different countries, trying to hold on till this year passes...she writes a lot for her, but lately I can see the pain of loniness...she is working too much and sad...
Congrat's to you and your wife...I do believe if you survive things like this you are strong and appreciate each other more...
Blessing to you, both

gorrrrrrgeous! thank you for entering!
my favorite stanza:
"We knew we had to part, not knowing how long it'd be
Now with each passing day when next we meet is unsure to me
Separated by states and too many miles in between
But if you listen closely you'll hear my heart scream"
-lovely! -

Thank you :)
I did put my heart into this, as the theme of this is actually a reality in my own life. Your comments are appreciated, I would be honored with your consideration.

Such sentiment in this of love and distance,The feelings are extreame but i defintley understand the feelings written in hope and sadness.
I feel this emotion of heart everyday.
The flow is terrific!
I have to favorite parts:
Never in my wildest dreams could I've imagined such loneliness
I miss that look in your eyes, your kiss, your sweet caress
Only a little longer, Love, then our waiting will be thru
Gonna hold you close to me and never stop saying, "I love you"
And:
But if you listen closely you'll hear my heart scream
Too many nights
alone
without you...
Yours,
Lifetime
