My boyfriend, my marine, my hero

I knew this was a possibility
but one that i didn't want
to come true but there
u were telling me the news

my heart completely stopped
the tears wouldn't stop
my heart felt like it was breaking
and there was nothing that could be done

happy you make me
but sad i am
because we're not together
like the water and the sand

you are the water
and i am the sand
because you are constantly moving
and i, alone, stand

i once told you
many times before
that here i would be
waiting for your return

i said i was going to be in it
for the long run
and being with you
was not a mistake

but as of right now
i cant help but feel
my heart break

you will miss
two years of my life
prom, graduation
everything that's important to me

i will grow, change
i wont be the same as
when you left me
how do you know

that you will still
want to be with me
after so long of time
has past

would i be wasting my time
putting my life on hold
just like i keep hearing
and am told

but i also know something else
that true love never dies
it will always last
no matter what

so if you say that
is what our love is
mine is deep
yours is endless

then we can make it through
this time in our life
we will pull through it
together always

i will be busy doing
things in my life
you will be busy
doing your job

i will think about
you every single day
and pray you come home
safe back to my arms

there is nothing like
a deployment
to truly put a test
on the relationship

ill be as strong as
i possibly can
not just for you
but for me as well

i love you baby
and i hope that you know
its you and me always
forever and ever
