I think this is my 6th contest!
My Boyfriend just left today for Italy. He's going with some people from his church, and is probably going into seminary shortly after he comes back. Its very hard for both of us, and there are endless possibilities that are driving me crazy. So this is what I want.
1. Write about your boyfriend going away for a while, a few months, a year...and you holding on tight, missing him, being sad, feeling empty inside, lonely.
2. Write about the love of your life dying, how you would feel, or if they did, how did you feel?
3. Pretend you're me. I've been crying on and off the last 2days, he just got on his plane an hour ago, and we said goodbye. How would you feel if you were me, not knowing whats going to happen. His name is Richard, and we've been together for 9months(since 2days ago
)
Now for the Rules
1. No erotica
2. No sticky caps, and no swearing, (I mean, you can say hell or damn, but thats it)
3. No more then 2entries per person
4. Put "Missing Him like Crazy" in your author comments, the # of the choice you picked, and please explain where your poem came from in great detail.
5. You don't have to comment on mine or others to win, but it would be nice.
6. Im allowing prewrites, because maybe some of you have been through something like this. But I swear, if you put something about your boyfriend being gone 3days at summer camp, I will be pissed. It better be what I ask for, seeing I prefer origianl, and most people that enter prewrites dont read the freaking rules
I will not remind you about the rules. I cant stress it enough that it makes me mad. If you want to waste my time, Ill waste yours, and wont even bother reading your poem. First thing I'm going to do, is scroll down, and read your author comments. If you don't have what I ask, then Ill go on to the next. THERE WILL BE NO REMINDERS WHAT SO EVER! Thanks, and sorry, but its annoying.
2nd and 3rd will get points, and maybe honorable mentions.
Now go write

Mya--
Before I enter this contest, read this one and give me "pre-approval" if you will:
allpoetry.com/poem/380039
I don't want to go into a huge biography of what happened, but I wrote that poem about five months after my former fiance (who is also named Richard, ironically) left to go into the Peace Corps. I don't know if he's ever coming back (and judging from the last conversation we had, that's highly unlikely). At the time it was written, it was a week from our first anniversary. Oh--and if you can stand it, please don't cry. I shed enough tears to fill an ocean when I wrote that poem.
Many blessings,
Raven Aurora

Oh! Awesome Sis! I will definitely put on my thinking caps and try to write a piece about this one. I wish you the best in luck with judging and I hope you have a lot of entries that will help you and give you strength and hope through this very difficult time. I have been there with Paul, still am but I want you to know that it is bearable even though at times it doesn't seem that way ---Sara

Well sence I know where you are comming from and know exactly what you feel I will enter. But I hope it is ok if maybe I can enter a prewrite. I did read the rules... Well let me know if it would be alright??? From ASmileIs4Ever2 And sorry for loosing him like that, I know it has to be tough.

I hate to say, but nine months is a short time...
Not to sound callous, for emotions aren't ruled by Time, but I have a quote...
"If you're not in one place with one person, you'll be somewhere else with someone else."
Of course, that totally doesn't apply to marriage, which, to me, is still a sacred institution...

Hi there
I like this contest, but I don't think I can enter it
allthough,3 years ago, when I had my first boyfriend, He went away for 8 days to spain with his school, I missed him a lot, but he came back with the message he was with someone else and dumped me... Fits not really in this contest I think...And some time ago, I threw all my poems I wrote about him away, cause I didn't want to remember him
And er...Circuitsboard? Time is relative and for one person, 9 months can be very long, for the other not... I wish I could have once a boyfriend that stays for 9 months with me, but somehow, I always manage to loose him after 6 months... The last one I dumped myself, cause he was jealous, he was hitting me... but all of the others dumped either to go back at their ex, or just to f*ck around...
So... CONGRATULATIONS BabyMya with your 9 months relationship! I really do hope it will last for eternity!!

Think what you want, but Im not here with someone else. I didnt ask for people's comments on whether or not my relationship is short or long. Its hard enough, let alone do I need comments like that. Maybe I wasnt hoping 9months would turn into longer...you know? But I've never been this close to someone in my life, and thats probably why he means so much to me.
-
See, I dont want rude comments like that. Thank you hun lol, Its 9months now, but it could be longer. This is the closest I've been to someone in my life, and that person just doesnt know how much he has helped me. Usually I have the most horrible luck with guys. They cheat on me, or use me, or something....geez. But this one is a keeper, and I still might lose him.
-
It was not a rude comment.
As I said, emotions aren't ruled by time (as in, you can fall in love in almost any amount of time, whether an hour or 10 years). I know how it feels, and honestly, when I was younger, I went through the same thing with a g/f or two.
Also, I didn't say you were with someone else. The quote basically means that there are other fish in the sea, whether you want them or not, leaving the decision up to you.
I apologize if you mistook me.
I wish you well, I know it's hard. Been there.
