Girlfriends/Boyfriends of People in the Military

Okay, this is my first contest, so if I sound like a loser, that's why.

My boyfriend is in the military, and I am constantly miss and worry about him. He's been working so much lately and never has time to talk, so I'm feeling kind of lonely/sad.

I want to hear (read, technically) about your guy/gal in the military. How do you survive day-to-day when they're not there? Etc.

No erotica.
Keep profanity to a minimum.
Try your best to use proper spelling and grammar.
"Its" does not equal "it's" just as "your" does not equal "you're" Know when to use which word.
Length doesn't matter...I just don't want to be sitting here reading a poem for 10 minutes.

Umm...did I cover everything? If you rhyme, please, for the love of all things good, make it good.

Go go go Get to work.

    hey.. i am not entering your contest because i dont have much to write about my boyfriend being in the military because he isn't involved so im sorry if that is kind of rude to you.. but i would just like you to know that i know it hurts.. i understand that him being away and the worry about him.. my boyfriend when we grow up.. he finishes school.. he wants to leave me and go to the army.. it hurts me enough already because we live a long distance relationship and i only see him twice a month pretty much. and i know its scarey.. i'm so scared to think what may happen.. but i guess all you have to do is just be proud of him.. and support him. i wish you and your boyfriend well.. i really do.

    oxoxoxo

    and good luck on your contest. XD
