I wake up in the morning,
a new day has just begun,
I turn over only to find my loved one is gone.
I go to the kitchen to prepare a breakfast for two,
and remember it's only for one.
I come home to work,
and for a second i think about coming home to him,
him embracing me in a warm, never ending hug.
That we will just stare into each others eyes
for the rest of the night.
But then i remember,
that he is gone,
gone to the military,
to be a soldier.
I go to sleep,
without that warm, never ending embrace,
without staring into each other's eyes for hours at a time.
without sharing breakfast.
without rolling over and finding him there.
I hope that all goes away when he comes back.

I love It....
It was the first entry I read this morning and my husband called me with bad news this morning and each line fell into the emotions I am battling. Thank you for your entry and best of wishes in this contest...
