My Marine

by stargirl49   Apr 28, 2009


Knowing that the separation is coming
does not help to ease my pain.
Knowing that you'll be far away
does nothing to comfort me.
But knowing that you'll still love me
makes my heart burst into song.

No one has ever loved me
like you do.
No one has ever brought me flowers
just because they wanted to.
No one has ever called me up
just to say "I love you"
when we just finished talking
a few minutes before.

Oh, Christopher,
I pray that your
sweet and sensitive side
will not be lost
in the midst of
your years in service.
The man I fell in love with
is the man who is strong,
romantic,
sweet,
protective,
loving,
understanding,
and full of life.
These qualities make you
who you are.
Your strength will lead you
to the top
and your bravery will keep you there.
I'm so proud of you,
my Marine.
My love.
My best friend.
Because of the love we share,
I can make it through
the years ahead.
While you're off serving our country,
I will be here waiting.
Loving you until the day I die.
My own strength will carry me through.
For a Marine's girl
has to be even stronger than the Marine.
We're the ones whose love
brings them home.
