Semper Fi

So far away,
for so long,
every night I pray,
that you will return and be mine.

You say that I’m so strong.
You think I don’t cry,
but you are so wrong.
I cannot help but wonder, why?

You say we’ll be together forever,
and I believe all that you say.
Even after I know the pain I must endeavor,
I cannot wait until you come home to stay.

A bond so deep,
that even when you’re here,
I still weep,
for all my fear.

You’re the best I ever had,
and I hate letting you go.
When you’re gone I get so sad,
and the time passes so slow.

So many dislike that we’re married,
I guess that they just don’t understand,
all the pain we’ve already carried.
Some even say that our love should be banned.

But regardless, I’ll be here through all your callings.
Many may wonder, why?
Because I love you forever and ever and always,
And our love is Semper Fi.

Author notes

This is written about my Fiancé who is currently training to leave for a second term in Iraq!! We are to be married this December and every is telling us that we shouldn't. But we feel that it doesn't matter when we marry because we will be together any way! He currently lives in Hawaii and i live in Ohio! So I rarely get to see him. I have been with him sence before boot camp. I have went over 3 months with out talking on the phone to him, just a letter once a week and 11 months and fourteen days without seeing him. I guess this is'nt notebook love but if you ask me it's way stronger!

    Wow, this is such a great piece!
    I am sorry that you are both so far apart.
    It's a terrible feeling when you can't be
    with the one that you love everyday of your
    life. I wish you both the best in your future
    and hope that everything works out! Never give
    up on the best thing that's ever happened to you!
    I hope that you are able to hold onto this
    relationship and that it turns around for the
    better!

    A lovely kind of love. Hard, perhaps, for you, but I think it will make your love all the stronger. And you can't deny love. Besides, what difference would it make? You love each other now.


    A pretty and heartfelt piece. I wish you both a lot of luck.


    Thanks for entering.

    Wonderful

    Every service member needs love and support. The saying used to be, if we wanted you to have a wife, we'd issue you one. But that was a different time and place.

    Appreciate your sharing such a lovely write about you and your intended's love. Good luck in the contest!
