About the Poem

I met a wonderful man through the Internet and we began to talk, growing to know one another. And while going through my old poems, I came across this one. It described Drey and I so well that I knew I had to keep this poem, sort of like a memory of my feelings, of how I felt towards him before I even met him.

Until We Meet

by Syreeta Elie

Until we meet
My nights will be a little colder
My days a little shorter
My heart will beat a little less rapid
Until we meet
I know that my arms will be empty
My mind hurting from the constant thought of you
Minutes will seem to be hours
Hours will seem to be months
While months will seem like eternity
Until we meet
The stars in the sky will not affect me
with its gleaming sparkles of life

Until I am gazing at them in your arms
And the food that I eat will not be as fulfilling and nourishing
Until it is you that I share the my food with
And Until we meet
I will not feel whole
My world will seem incomplete
Until that wonderful day
When our eyes make first contact
And our bodies and souls collide in blissful whirlwind
The words will roll off my tongue like a sweet love song
"Hello, my love, I couldn't wait to meet you."

I really liked this poem because it totally reflects what I'm going through right now. I have a boyfriend from school at the moment, but i met this one guy online and i love him more than my boyfriend. But the guy online lives to far away.

Miranda

This was so sweet it brought tears to my eyes! Lovely!

andrew

i read this poem and instantly thought of vikki a special woman who stole my heart from the first , a woman who i felt i had known all my life but had never even shared the same air! 3500 miles away 2 lives became 1 and when our souls meet then il tell her " hello my love , i couldnt wait to meet you "

Josie

I just LOVE your poem! It makes me think of me, and my internet relationship with my hubby Zac. It really inspired me!

Tabatha

I loved this poem so much. It's exactly what I'm going through. I've wanted to write some peoms about it but I haven't been able to find the right words. Now I have. Great job, it's perfect. I felt like I couldn't possibly love this great guy cause I've never met him, and no one ever falls in love with someone over the internet. Now I know I'm not alone, and that it is possible, and it is real.

stephanie

This poem spoke to me when I read it. It was saying exactly what I was feeling. It is a beautiful poem. Thank you for writing it.

DJC

I loved this poem. It was sent to me by the man I love and I almost cried. It is everthing that I want to tell him. Even though we have never met he is the one that I will love for the rest of my life. Without him my life is empty. I cant wait to be with him in a few months.

I live in New Mexico, and I have yet to meet the love of my life; Mike - Who's in Chicago. We've been waiting for two long, painful years now - Hoping next year we'll finally see each other IRL. I sent your poem to him via email. I hope he loves it as much as I do. Keep up the great work!

Stacy

This poem i can really relate too. I've fallen in love with soemone online and I;ve been with him for over a year and a half now and he's comming to see me in about a month. and ever time i think about it i just wanna cry. I've been searching for poems wich can finally relate to this expirience and to find other people in which share the somewhat same expirience in finding a soulmate or even just a great friend online. I wish all luck in you lives together with that one person. TY ^_^

Jeremy

Astounding! I very rarely go out of my way to LOOK for poetry. i usually come up short of what im looking for. I have been with my lovely tiffany for 7 months now. she lives in california, i live in ohio. As difficult as it is to do, i feel that its the most exquisite woman i have ever met. (Even though im only 21 years old) There will never be another like her. I love her with everything i have in me, and i know she loves me back. This poem is not only wonderful on its own, but its also wonderful in the eyes of those who know. I want to thank the author for what im feeling inside right now. A new level of anticipation and love. one last thing, you can bet ill be sending this to her as well! ;)

Chris

This is a great poem. The first time i read it just hit me that it fits so much like i feel about a girl that i love and hope to meet one day and be together forever. Its a great all around poem for distant lovers

ANGELICA

this has all the rite emotions for me!

cathy

I met someone on line and after millions of words exchanged we fell in love. We're going to meet in 59 days and i was looking for the perfect poem to send him. This is it. Thank you so much!

Your poem speaks to me from a place that I know too well. it is sweet and sad all at the same time. full of the promise of what is to come. Waiting can be the beginning of something beautiful, and you seem to understand the possibilities of such bliss. good for you!

Peter

I've been touched by many poems that I've read in my life. The emotion that this poem brought to me is uniquely uncategorizable. I share the same experience about this type of love and that experience alone would make this poem more compelling to me. Because I'm relating myself to it.
