I am 16 years old and this poem is about my first True Love. It's about how I don't want to let go of what we once had. But how gradually I must come to terms with it slipping away.

This poem originally was published in Love Poems - Teenage Love Poems

Always
I wish you were here
I wish you were close
and those are the times that I'm wishing the most.

I gave you that ring you wear on your hand
and like time in an hour glass, you slip away like sand.

I want you so bad to hold, and to touch
and that is because I love you so much.

And I want you to know whatever you do
I will always be here

and I will always love you.

  • Leann
    There is something very important that I would like to say about this poem. I am the girl that Richard wrote this poem for. I can honestly say that in a way I almost feel like this poem brought us together in a way. All of the comments of everyone really made me realize what I had with him and perhaps what i've lost. We were both 16 at the time. I am now 19. and I can honestly say the words are true, the love was true because Rich- I am still in love with you.
  • Heath
    HEY WELL I JESS WANTED TO SAY I THOUGHT THIS POEM WAS THE REAL AND THIS THE SAME WAY I FELL BOUT MY EX BOYFRIEND AND WILL NEVER STOP LOVING HIM !
  • meg
    this peom is great. i love it. it made me think of a boy i once had and had to say goodbye
  • Nate
    this poem is great but not many people can say that they long for someone to hold and if they could then a lot of it is also just because they want to. seldomly people especially teens like me find that one true love and they want it to never end. when this happens you want to be with that person more than anyone in this whole world, sometimes you even think of them as some sort of god/goddess. take my case i am deeply in love with this one person and i would give my life to see her just for one second and then i would have seen the most beautiful thing in this whole universe. it doesn't really matter how people think of what you and that other person share but how you feel about that person and you should express it to her/him just to let them know how you feel.
  • Holly
    "When you love someone" was the best poem i have ever heard it made me think about hw i feel about my first love. it's kinda freaky the way it is though!how a poem can say so much. it speaks a lot louder than words!

    Richard, this is an exceptionally great poem. I think all of us teens have experienced (or soon will) the love and loss that your poem talks about. It is such a true and hard thing to deal with, but that's love. Thank you so very much for sharing your poems with us. You will touch the world with your words some day, as you have already touched my aching heart.

    I feel your poem was perfect. It was short, sweet and right to the point. I believe we all have felt this way at least once before. Keep at it and NEVER forget to let your girl know how you feel, to us that is the most important thing to know. Stay sweet.
