I may not say I love you in a thousand of words,
or say anything different that you haven't heard,
but if you'd allow me to whisper you just a few words;
know not having you in my life is my only curse.
Remember me, remember us, and what we felt,
when I first saw you, I couldn't help to wonder,
I was so nervous, oh God, how I stuttered...,
but somehow, you smiled, and I melted inside,
that's all it took, and love was born for us two...
It was our secrete rendez-vous
to meet at the park after school.
I swear, there were moments when time stood still;
when love would picnic in our hearts,
and butterflies would sail with our spirit.
I remember the very first hickey I laid upon your cheeks
how I purposely bit you so your skin would turn pink
and how you'd cover it up with make-up so no one would see
I surely remember those times, those were precious to me.
Your heart was my midnight breakfast,
so many hugs and kisses, I never knew of hunger;
you fed me love and passion until I became addicted.
Yet, we were young, and the world was cruel,
gossip here, gossip there, so we'd argue...
And now, I painfully live our lives through the lives of other folks
each time I see two people cuddle, I chuckle,
each time I think of happiness, I think of you...
how I wish life could start anew....
I may not say I love you in a thousand of words,
or say anything different that you haven't heard,
but there always comes a time,
when I miss you more than life,
it hurts so much, that I often break down and cry.
Author notes
Option 2: Write a poem telling someone just how much you miss them. Please write it for someone still with us. I think it’s important to touch someone’s heart while we still can.
You mean more than the world to me
You know who you are
So remember us darling,
remember...
Don't just walk in my shaddow.
I wrote this for a girl that I love so much but some reason
we can't be together. distances stand in between us...

An emotional piece of poetry that is a testament to fondly held memories of love lost and the love that still remains amidst the bittersweet refrain.
-
I enjoyed it.i do believe however,that you could've been more intense and passionate,not just something out of a romantic greeting card.how old were you when you had this first love?its sweet, but rather light.
-
This poem was so emotional so tear felt it actually made me cry cuz that's exactly how my love is turning out...distance (and age) separates us, so so sad...GL

"when love would picnic in our hearts,
and butterflies would sail with our spirit."
so depressing.
you described the transition, from puppy love to maturity taking over in the form of arguements, really well with these little events that happened.
thanks for this heartbreaking write. you did a great job
-
I know dear M....how you do love her...and you have expressed it well...Keep penning dear friend!
-
this is so cute.. i can tell how much you feel for this person and i'm sorry you can't be with her... my favorite line is "you fed me love and passion until I became addicted."
-
I think everyone has a love in their past like yours. I awalys told myself, when it is more painful to remember, than forget, then move on, better times are on their way!
best wishes in the contest!

I like this poem, it is well done but I do have a problem with the part 'a thousand of words' wouldn't it be better to have 'thousands of words'? This poem made me feel that I knew the person you loved and that I was part of the scene.
It goes from the heights of happiness to the depths of misery, I find the change unique, I thank you for entering my contest. -
This is so emotional. Everyline seeps with your pain and longing. You should have one many more trophies for this
-
Sweet
This is so sweet. It takes me back to high school. You've penned quite a few lines that ohh and ahh'ed me. Wishing you all the best with your love. Thank you for entering and good luck. Hugs~ Cuddles -
This is a genuine write. I love it! This poem shows true feelings of love "Your heart was my midnight breakfast,
so many hugs and kisses, I never knew of hunger" I love this part especially, very creative. It is wonderful how you give so many examples of why you loved her and not just have a whole bunch of lacy language.
Beautifully penned!
-
Great poem! Its very sad and emotional. Beautiful job! Thanks for entering!

This poem was cute but that part
"I remember the very first hickey I layed upon your cheeks
how I purposely bit you so your skin would turn pink
and how you'd cover it up with make-up so no one would see
I surely remember those times, those were precious to me."
This wasn't about me because you never gave me a hickey before. lol but this was still cute
-
This is amazing, very cute, well written, my favorite I've read today =]

nice poem. It makes me think of someone I use to be in love with. thank yo
-
Beautiful, loved how you repreated the first stanza in the end with chainging some lines. I loved this line o much:
"when I miss you more than life,"
and:
"I swear, there were moments when time stood still;
when love would picnic in our hearts,"
Simply beautiful, so much longing and missing, hoping and love. Very good luck in the contest!

Excellent
A very fine write, indeed. You've expressed yourself quite well. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Again, well done. -
Most certainly most heartfelt and poignant piece here! You also manage to create a bleakness in the poem which was not easy to do which went well with the details of the poem... deftly done throughout... bravo
-
SPLENDID
well this is what I call a poem which comes straight from heart .... a very touching write I mus say ....
I may not say I love you in a thousand of words,
or say anything different that you haven't heard,
A good start for a very powerful write ....I could well relate myself to this ....
I may not say I love you in a thousand of words,

but there always comes a time,
when I miss you more than life,
it hurts so much, that I often break down and cry.
The last stanza is very well penned .... how much I loved it I cannot explain .... the flow is very natural ... overall a very good poem ...!!!
-
Excellent
A very fine write, indeed. You've expressed yourself quite well, indeed. Thanks for sharing this one with us.
-
YOu write souch outstanding poetry Mack! Wow this is incredibly awesome! Keep writing. I love to read you poetry!
-
This is full of beautiful memories, and is a little bit sad since they seem to be lost. Just a few typos/errors though..
It was our secrete rendez vous - secret, rendez-vous
I remember the very first hicky I layed upon your cheeks - hickey
and how you'd cover it up with makeups so no one would see - make-up -
Lovely olden school days....... a nice write brings the memories closer ... Thanks for sharing..
-
That was really, really beautiful. You get a real sense of the happiness and wholeness you felt with them, and then the absolute grief and reminiscing afterwards.
The only thing that bothered me a bit was this line: "when I first saw you, boo, I couldn't help to wonder"
The poem has a very serious tone throughout, but the 'boo' just... I don't know, almost offsets the seriousness of it. Personally I would revise it.
Other than that, great job. -
Beautiful beautiful indeed
Youhave penned this so very well so heart felt and loving like a whisper of love upon a gentle breeze
-
Wow! Excellent job with the details. You can tell you really miss this person whom you loved. I love the way you incorporated your feelings when you see two people happy and in love and how it makes you feel the pain of your beloved to be gone. I too have felt these feelings when my boyfriend broke up with me. I wrote poems similar to these. I remember all these feelings all too well. You did a wonderful, amazing job.
-
It is clear how much you miss this beloved. I especially like how you say the sight of others in love brings a special pain to your heart. I've felt this, sometimes, too, but you've expressed it very well. Also liked your internal rhymes.
-
Love as curse = Great image !!
it gives the clue to the rest of the poem !!
-
wow a very deep write!! I know u put a lot of thought into this you did an amzing job!! This is very very well written!! Excellent details and description!! This is incredible!! Such a perfect piece!!
