Long Distance Love
I never believed in love at first sight until
I saw you. Days later I learned that you
felt the same. We had a whirlwind romance
and got married two months later from the
day we met. We fell madly in love and we
were inseparable.
That all changed the day you got drafted
to go fight for our country. I didn't want
you to go. I became anti war instantly .
But I lost the battle, you chose war over me.
My heart was no longer in my chest, it was
over seas fighting for a war I didn't believe
in. Your letters were my only ray of sunshine.
Days turned to months, months turned to
years.I didn't know if I could survive another
day without you. My lonely nights seemed
like an eternity.
I will never forget when you returned to me, I
was so empty inside and missed you so much.
You saw me staring into nothing and took me
into your arms and my heart started to beat for
the first time since you left.
That my love was the happiest day of my
life. We've been together ever since.
