Usa- Man In Uniform

This was unexpected. You, the man my heart seeks. How could it be possible that it is true? Is it happening? For me and you? A man in uniform. I have fallen for. Stupidly I let myself go. Where no woman wants to go. You could die in battle. Be blown to smithereens. Take a gunshot to the heart. And bleed out. But I can’t stop what is in progression. They say the heart wants what the heart wants. But do I want this? No. YES. My brain and heart battle. Should I choose logic over my heart’s desire? But how can I stop this fire? To let romance and passion go denied. It seems so wrong. I know he’ll be in the military long. So how long can I wait? Is it destiny, maybe fate? He is a good solider, he won’t break my heart. But will I break his? Man In uniform, leaving for the army. What would you do if I asked you to stay? But I can’t. It would be dishonorable. But the truth is. I love you. Man fighting for the red white and blue. -Dedicated to loved ones who have someone fighting for the USA
