Navy Girlfriend

I lay motionless in bed
while the world still spins
wishing you were somewhere near
I will always be standing on that pier
waiting for your safe return
I hold onto each and every promise
But it's never a "good bye"
it's always a "see you later"
I am at the bottom of the list
I hold no Military ID
But half my heart is still on that sub
I am a Navy Girlfriend
that is my title
I have promised to be there for you
and that is something
that will always stay true
people say I'm crazy
I just smile and shake my head
because I will always hold on to our last hug
and kiss ;)
so when people say their prayers
for the wives, mothers, and fathers
I hope they won't forget me
because my heart aches too.
I sleep alone
I cry alone
But I carry on with my life
even when we are oceans apart
I promised to be strong
so I hide those tears
and put on a smile
only because you make me smile
I will always wait for you
and I will always support you
I'm right by your side through everything.
YOU ARE MY HERO J. ROSS LAWRENCE
and I love you very much!
