Or maybe they’ve been around for decades.

So why not send them a cute thinking of you poem?
Not a poet?

That’s where we come in.
We’ve collected some unique thinking of you poems for her, him, or they.
Use as is (and give credit to the poet) or tweak them to your situation.
How to Use a Thinking of You Poem
There’s an art to dating, and knowing when to emote and when to hold back is all part of the craft.
Which raises the question: When should you send a thinking-of-you poem?
After Several Weeks of Dating: The first date went well. You’re excited. But don’t mess it up by coming on too strong, too soon.
Randomly (If in Long-Term Relationship): Long-term relationships have a way of breeding complacency. Put a spark back into the partnership with a sweet, random, thinking-of-you poem.
Before an Important Event: Does your partner have a big meeting or presentation? Encourage them by sending a thoughtful poem on the morning of the event.
When You’re Apart: People get lonely and nervous when their partner is away. Let your honey know you’re thinking of them with a short poem.
How can you send thinking-of-you poems?
In a card (snail mail it to add an old-fashion touch)
In an email
In a text
Leave a voicemail
Send a singing telegram
We’ve discussed what to do and what not to do.
1. When I Think of You by Catherine Pulsifer
When I think of you, I recall the laughter we shared The troubles we aired The joy and the tears The expressions of fear. The good times we’ve had The times we’ve been mad. But through it all I smile when I recall The talks of life we have had The times when we’ve been sad But you are always there Even when I acted like a bear So when I think of you I know I can count on you that’s true I count my blessings that you, I can depend You will always be a good true friend.
2. A Stranger by Lang Leav
There is a love I reminisce, Like a seed I’ve never sown. Or lips that im yet to kiss, and eyes not met my own. Hands that wrap around my wrists, and arms that feel like home. I wonder how it is I miss, these things I’ve never known.
3. A Memory by Lola Ridge
I remember The crackle of the palm trees Over the mooned white roofs of the town… The shining town… And the tender fumbling of the surf On the sulphur-yellow beaches As we sat…a little apart…in the close-pressing night. The moon hung above us like a golden mango, And the moist air clung to our faces, Warm and fragrant as the open mouth of a child And we watched the out-flung sea Rolling to the purple edge of the world, Yet ever back upon itself… As we… Inadequate night… And mooned white memory Of a tropic sea… How softly it comes up Like an ungathered lily.
4. You’re Always on My Mind by Alyssa Long
I find that you’re on my mind, more often than any other thought. Sometimes I bring you there purposely, to console me, or warm me, or just to make my day a little brighter. So often, you surprise me though, and find your own way into my thoughts. There are times, when I awaken and realize what a tender part of my dreams you have been. And all through the day, when a peaceful moment seems to come my way, and my imagination is free to run, it takes me running into your arms, and allows me to linger there, knowing there’s nothing I’d rather do. I know that my thoughts are only reflecting the loving hopes of my heart, because whenever they wander, they always take me to you.
5. Longing by Sara Teasdale
I am not sorry for my soul That it must go unsatisfied, For it can live a thousand times, Eternity is deep and wide. I am not sorry for my soul, But oh, my body that must go Back to a little drift of dust Without the joy it longed to know.
6. I Miss You by Helen J. Radford
You live in my heart. Thoughts of you consume my mind. I miss all you are.
7. Can’t Stop Thinking About You by Tyler Knott Gregson
I wish I could somehow help you understand that every thought I think is about you. I am saturated in your silhouette.
8. I Want You Beside Me by Shiloh
Sacred kiss From your glistening lips I’ll never all away From the gift of us I want you beside me For the rest of this
9. Just Thinking of You by James Douglas Morrison
Watching whitecaps roll into the ocean of blue. With a smile on my face just thinking of you. The sweet memories, the tender moments we’ve shared. They caress me like the soft breeze that fills the air. The loving feeling I get when I hold your hand. The summer night when we walked in the sand. Waves splashing on the rocks along the shoreline. Brings tears to my eyes knowing that your mine. Sharing a love like ours my happy heart sighs. Watching the violet clouds carelessly floating by.
10. Every Time When I Think of You by lil Island Gal
When Every time I think of you, my body shakes Every time I see you, my knees grow weak and Every time I’m with you, I don’t want the time to end. When Every time I look into your eyes, I wish I was there Every time I see you smile, my heart melts and Every night before I go to sleep, I pray we don’t end. I’ve tried somehow to say: You’re the sun that lights up my sky The wind that keeps me cool on a hot summer day And sweet incense that keeps me on a natural high I want so much to tell you: That without you with me each day, my day isn’t complete That since day one, I’ve always wanted to be with you That no matter what’s going on in my life You’re the reason there’s a smile on my face And that loving you seems to be all I need to know. But every time I want to The words just won’t come out To you, it may sound mushy or too cute You may not believe it, so it’s better I keep my mouth closed Then to try to tell you exactly what’s on my mind Yet I wish to tell you that I’m beginning to Love you more with each passing of the day And that I want to be with you Come whatever may.
To know that I miss you so much when you leave; to know that I need you like the air that I breathe. To know that I want you with a passion so blind, is to know that I love you — with no doubt in my mind
12. That Person Who Is Always on Your Mind by Ms. Moem
Things come and go. Some people do too. Circumstances change but my thoughts stay with you.
13. Remembering by Taliah
You were on my mind when I woke up this morning. Remembering your smile I guess the next time I’ll see your face Might take a little while. I was remembering your arms around me The way they always felt warm And having you right by my side I completely felt no harm. I was remembering your voice It makes my heart skip a beat but without you my love my body feels so weak. I was remembering our times all the good and bad the funny times you cheered me up and especially the sad. I was remembering your eyes how they always meet mine remembering all the things you do to make my life worthwhile. I was wondering when we’ll be together when it will be just us two I guess I’m just missing you more than I usually do.
Sending thinking about you poemsto people you’re dating or full-fledged significant others is thoughtful.
