Lying here, next to you,
Watching you sleep so peacefully,
Its hard to believe the time has come,
Your last night here with me.
You’ve packed your bags,
We’ve said our “see you later’s”,
We’ve said our I love you’s,
And our always and forevers.
One last time,
Chorus:
I whisper I love you in your ear,
Ever so softly, that I can barely hear.
I kiss you lightly on the cheek,
While hoping that, I don’t disturb your sleep.
I rest my head on your chest,
Listening to the sound your heart makes,
Even knowing that you wont be gone for long,
My heart continues to slowly break
Your breathing changes a little,
I slowly lift my head,
My eyes meet your eyes,
Now its you watching me instead.
You know what I’m thinking,
Tears start to fill my eyes,
Without words we say good bye again,
Without really saying good bye
So one last time
Chorus
You pull me into your arms,
And hold me close and tight,
You whisper I love you, and not once
Do you let go all through the night.
The last time
Chorus
Seeing you leave
Is the hardest thing I’ll ever have to do
But I want you to know
That I will be here waiting for you
And I whisper one last time
I love you.

Tabb, just know that I had to leave too, and I'm almost home now. It's gonna be hard on him, as it was for me, to know that your heart burns with the pain of his absence.
Keep in mind that the next time you see him, he will be both overjoyed and overwhelmed. I myself might cry when I see my family again.
Unfortunately, it is so far from now that will happen, but keep him in your prayers, send him letters from home (even of mundane things. ANYTHING is better than the mind-grinding insanity of here) and a few pictures to keep him company.
My heart goes out to you, tabby, and to all those around who have loved ones deployed. The only thing I can say is this: nothing lasts forever.
