I constantly turn around
Thinking I hear your voice
I guess you can always say
I yearn without a choice
I miss your arms around me
I miss the way you speak
I miss how every time we talked
I felt my knees grow weak
I miss your sweet smile
And the way yours lips taste
I miss the way you smelled
After we embraced
I miss our evening dinners
And the little dates that we took
I miss your sense of style
And everything about your look
I miss the tears I cried
Whenever we would fight
Because at least I got to see you
And knew you were alright
We both know I lost my faith
The day you made me cry
But for you I always pray
That wasn't my last goodbye.

This is so sweet. We always have to remember the good times and hope there will be better times in the future. God bless our troops and our country.

Mmmm...How nice. This is such a nice write. It made me sad to read it.
But don't worry. I'm sure he'll be allright.
