"It was 3 years ago"

She said with a grin

"Yes it was"

He replied as he gave her a kiss while holding her chin

"It was always worth it, but certain parts were so hard..."

She closed her eyes taking in the past

"Yea, but we made it through...." and he smiled

"That's why the bad things couldn't last"

As they sat there in silence

He was holding her hand

And she just kept thinking

Everything before was our fault, but this i cant control, and I can't stand

He held her tighter

Just to let her know...

I will always be with you

No matter what happens, or where i go

She closed her eyes and said out loud

"I don't think I can do it....I need you here with me"

As tears fell from her eyes she admitted

"I don't want a life without you, I wouldn't know how to be.."

He felt his stomach tighten in knots

But to be strong for her he had to say

" Don't be worried, because I am not, I'm going to stay here

they wont take me away"

She wanted to believe it

From the bottom of her heart

And shed like to believe nothing could tear them apart

He wrapped his arms around her

And held her close

Then they stayed that way

It had seemed they froze

His neck was wet

With all her tears

He could feel her trembling

And feel her fears

She took in his scent

The one she had come to known

over the years

Her eyes were closed and she just

reminisced while shutting out her fears

His head was on her neck

And in her hair

The smell of her skin...

No one could compare

They both know what they have is real

They each have fears that the other can feel

They both know that in the end of all this

It will work itself out

But in between, this will be the hardest task

Without a doubt

The safeness they both feel

In each others arms

Is unexplainable, so they stay that way

Away from all the harms

In each others worlds...

The thoughts are flying

To know they couldn't do it...

They'd be lying....

She opened her eyes

To look up into his

"Please don't go...."

"I need you so much more than you know"

He looked at her back

And a smile grew across his face

"With your strength and your beauty,

your the one I can't replace"

Knowing of their past....

Unsure of their immediate future

But definite about the end....

He took her hand and she took his

Knowing that they would get through this...

I wrote this for my baby before he left, now we only have 6 more months until he comes home. I never knew I could love anybody as much as i love him. Not a single second goes by where he doesnt cross my mind. Its amazing how all the materialistic things disappear and suddenly all the little things count once your so far away from eachother. I never knew an email or phone call could make me so happy, or even just getting to see him once every couple months, even tho its only for a few days and all we do is sit and talk. I love my boyfriend...my best friend, he means the world to me!!
