Life Sentence

I read his letters every night,
I long for him to be here,
I know its not gonna happen,
For at least another year.
Some see it as romantic,
That I would wait this long,
But I see it as a life sentence,
When Ive done nothing wrong.
I took it all for granted,
When he was here,
The hugs and the kisses,
Him just being near.
If I had known this would happen,
I would of savored everyday,
I would of held him that bit longer,
And loved him in every way.
I would have told him every morning,
I would hold him every night,
I wouldn't let silly things happen,
That would cause us to fight.
I love him so deeply,
With all of my heart,
I need him back home,
I hate to be apart.
