Girls Don't Cry

A poem.

I miss your gentle touch,

How you always held my hand when driving your car,

Making sure to look at me every couple of seconds,

Giving me that smile that melted my heart.

Oh how I miss that smile…

 

I miss the sound of your voice whispering in my ear,

How warm your body was when we fell asleep together,

And the way you used to blush,

Any time I pointed out your cute dimple.

Oh how I miss that dimple…

 

I miss the color of your eyes.

How they would sparkle with unsaid thoughts,

And never ceased to make my knees weak,

When they stared magnificently into mine.

Oh how I miss those eyes…

 

I miss you,

How you always looked at me like I was totally crazy,

And then you would kiss me,

Telling me that’s why you liked me so much.

Oh how I miss you boy…

 

And I wish you would just come back,

Because I really need you.

 

 

Author's Note

Um, the title is a revision of "Boys Don't Cry" a song by The Cure that I like and I picked it because while I miss him terribly I am unable to cry. It's almost like I've cried so much I just can't anymore... Oh how I miss that boy...

This is one that we can all relate to. The smile, eyes, warm presence and fun loving time is beautifully penned. Great poem. Thanks for entering the Missing Him, Missing Her contest.

It's fantastic...I love the way you included little specific things that you miss and are thinking about, it gives it more strength. It's been a while since you wrote this, so I hope you're feeling better now. It's very emotional, and I really like it.

[T.B. Odin]

This is beautiful, touching and charismatic. To dance on the threshfloor of love is to know a great certainty. But it is better to know love once than not at all. Love the style, the form, the power, the emotion. I bow to you friend for a marvelous write.

[George Love]

Very good work with much emotion and purpose.

[The Archangel Gabriel]

2nd Stanza, 2nd Line: "How warm your body was when he fell asleep together," should be (I think) "How warm your body was when we fell asleep together," Everybody makes little typos from time to time.

It is difficult to lose love. I wish that I had some magic cure for heartache, but it seems that only time cures such pain.

Great write!

A sad write, tender and full of love and admiration. I'm so sorry you are missing him today. I wish him to be back were he belongs soon.... Lovely writing...

[Joseph - Michael]

It's alright, I can related to what you just wrote down. We all cry at first, then we start to missing them, yet we couldn't cry anymore, because we ran out of the tears for them...

Anyway, it's pretty sad, but it's all good...

[Legion]

Well, I like the first few stanzas. But the last few threw it all off for me. Sorry about you loss of love, but you will breathe again.

[JC Fox]

Great poem and I love the imagery and emotion in this piece lol

[Danielle Asher]

i do not know what is worse... the stage where you can not stop crying or when you can't get it out anymore. the longing, the memories. How they eat away at us with every moment of our day. This is a poem that expresses something so many people can feel because we have been in that situation or something like it. hang in there. It is never easy to get through the longing.
