About the Poem

Her name was Jen. We had a deep, passionate love for each other. Endless nights did we spend love-making. Every encounter more heated, more passionate, more vibrating with life, more real, more true. But there was a catch. Our love affair was long distance - Montreal to Toronto. We kept our love alive by visiting each every weekend we had off. And when I’d leave her she’d always cry (as if I was her sea, her sun, her sky). Our partings were full of "I don’t want you's": I don’t want you to leave; I don’t want you to miss me too much; I don’t want you to find someone else - we can make it work; I don’t want you to stop calling; I don’t want you to stop coming to visit even though it hurts so much when you’re away). So one day after visiting her I combined all the I don’t want you phrases with the endless love I had in my heart for her and wrote this poem. Love Poems

I Don't Want You
by Avilla
I don’t want you
To love me forever,
Just for the rest of my life

I don’t want you
To tell me never
When I ask you to be my wife.

I don’t want you
To miss me too much
But you can kiss me until I catch fire.

I don’t want you
To do anything
Unless it’s what you truly desire.

I don’t want you
To be a dream in my life,
A ghost or a non-entity.

I don’t want you
To be anything at all
But right here next to me.

What a wonderful poem. You did a great job descirbing the feelings one experinces in a long distance relationship. It made me cry just thinking about me and my boyfriend, who lives away from me, and how much I miss him.
