For hours
I have tossed
And turned,
Trying to find
A place within
Our king-size bed
Where I didn't feel
So alone.
My darling,
How I miss you!
Thousands of miles,
An entire world,
Stretches between us,
And I wonder
If you ache
As I do?
Are you counting the days
Until your deployment ends?
When you close your eyes
Do you see me
Looking back at you
With all my love
Naked
Upon my face?
Do you somehow hear
Each fervent prayer
I've whispered
That you'll return home
To the safety
Of my arms?
Dearest,
Know that there
Will never be another
Who completes me
As you do.
You have always been,
And will forever be,
My one,
My only,
My beloved.
