Lying here each night,
I wish upon the same star,
knowing my wish will not be granted,
for at this moment I cannot be where you are.
Hour after hour,
I wait for time to pass,
though it seems to creep by,
and go slower than it ever has.
I try to avert my attention,
to things needed at that moment,
but everything I do,
leads me back to you in an instant.
I think of how it feels,
to have your arms wrapped tightly around me,
and how your lips caress mine,
as you kiss me soft and deeply.
I think of how it felt,
to be with you that night,
and how we were all that existed,
and it couldn’t have felt more right.
I can only hope,
you felt the same way,
for my heart bleeds for you,
with each passing day.
I miss your eyes,
and the way you smile,
and just being by your side,
feeling your love all the while.
I only want one promise,
and that is that you will return,
you will come back to me,
and give me the love for which I yearn.
I cannot bear the thought,
of living my life without you,
for my future lies within us,
I hope it’s the same for you.  
I love you so much more,
than words could ever say,
please believe that if nothing else,
for it will always be that way.
I could never tell you,
just what you mean to me,
but rest assured,
in my actions you shall see.
So, with this final thought,
I leave you for a while,
when you lie awake in bed,
think of me and smile,
For I can almost guarantee,
I’ll be thinking of you too,
and you might rest a little easier,
knowing my love is with you.
I have a dear friend of mine in the Navy, and I can only imagine how hard it must be to be that far away from everyone you love, especially someone such as a husband or wife, or girlfriend or boyfriend.
