Loving a Soldier
loving a soldier is a high price to pay,
loving him truly is hard when he's away.
it's being alone with nothing to hold;
it's being young, but feeling old;
it's having him whisper his love for you;
it's whispering back that you love him too.
there comes a kiss and a promise for more,
as his plane slowly rises to soar;
reluctantly, painfully, letting him go,
while your insides are dying from wanting him so,
standing alone with your hopes, dreams, and fears.
it's sending a letter with the stamp upside down,
to a far away love in a far away town.
it's going to church to kneel and pray,
and really meaning the things that you say.
being in love will foster your dreams,
of that far away soldier your mind fairly beams.
days go by, no mail for a spell,
you wait for some word to hear he is well.
then a letter arrives, and your given in,
to open his letter and read it with a grin.
yes, he is well and he misses you so,
it's filled with the love you wanted to know.
weeks are like months, and months are like years,
you wait for the day when you'll have no more fears.
