I had ask when she would be home.
She said she worked till noon and at one would be fine.
The flowers were waiting when she came home.
She grabbed a fast shower and let things go.
I called at one and there she was in a towel.
We talked for a couple of hours or so.
Parting was our hardest thing.
Six months after exchanging wedding rings.
I felt as if I knew her forever.
She said I stuck to her like glue.
Happy together we were and we knew.
Not much longer and I be back home.
I can just see her on the couch a sleeping today.
I said pretend I am with you for the day.
Finally we hung up the phones.
I felt as content as if I had been home.
Military wives are special I know.
They try and keep thing going just so.
We all know ours are the best.
Some of the ladies here say their guy is the best.

Such a wonderful bond doesn't happen very often, least you don't see it so it's normally in the films. So savour it.
