About the Poem

This poem is about the love of my life. We're far away from each other and the distance keeps us apart. As painful as it is to not be able to be with him, I still love him with all I have and all I am. And I always will.

Long Distance Love

by Panda

When it hurts so bad,
why does it feel so good?
I wish this all made sense,
I wish I understood.
Not having you here with me is tearing me up inside,
but I can't stop thinking about you no matter how hard I try.

You know how I feel about you,
and I know I want to spend the rest of my life with you,
but it's so hard to do when I can't even be next to you.
Why does it gotta be so complicated?

Loving you feels so right,
but at the same time,
knowing I can't have you keeps me awake at night.
I just want this to be simple,
I just want you here with me,
to look into your eyes,
be held in your arms...then I'd truly be happy.

Right now this distance between us is out of our control,
but I'm still hoping one day soon,
I'll get what I'm wishing for.

This is a great poem it's perfect for the realtionship that I have. I live in San Diego and he lives in San Jose. Im 15 he's 17, he comes down whenever he gets the chance but its really hard because of our age. We're deeply in love, and we can't spend a day without talking. Were not official although we have been talking for 7 months.

Holly

This poem really touched me. Simply because I have a long distance marriage, but my husband is in Iraq. I love him very much, but we don't get along as good as we should.

Alexandra

I liked this poem a lot, you see my boyfriend whom I love to death, lives in California, while I live in Michigan. It's probably the hardest thing to deal with and I haven't had the brady bunch life. Congrats on great work!

I can relate to this poem alot. My boyfriend works three hours away and he's only home on the weekends so it makes it hard.

helen

I loved this poem because it sums up how i am feeling wilth my bf. We have been going out for 6 months and he lives an hour away which i know boes not seem that trouble but only seeing him on the weekends kills me. He is everything to me and i love him with all my heart and i wishing and waiting for the day that we will be closer. My love for him will never change because he my soul mate and the one i want to spend my life with. Even though my parents say that i am too young to know that i am not because i am going to turn 18 soon. Keep writing you are a very talented and you have gift for writing poems that touches people's souls.

I love this poem because me and my boyfriend are currently going through a long distance relationship and when i read this it just touched me so much because that's exactly how I feel, and if you felt like that or still feel like that when you wrote this,I kno what you were going through or was going through and I dont think anybody deserves to go through that pain.

this poem touched my heart b/c im going thur the same thing like im in love with a guy and he feel's the same way abou't me, but hes asked me out but i said 'no' with the distance that would just hurt me more so he is thinking about moving down here and getting a job just to be with me is this ture love or what. but i still live with my mum so i have bot other year and i can move out. but the porblem is i really really love him and i'd love to go out so it just confusen even more.

Jasmin

I really liked this poem for the reason that im pretty much in the same situation. I love my boyfriend so much, but my parents dont allow him, and well i never see him and i talk to him whenever i get the chance to call him. It hurts so much because i miss him like crazy and i know it hurts him too. So that's why this poem touched me and i think its awsome.
