Across the world...

Children: across the classroom, shared glances, and passes on the playground.

Our awkward middle school years:

Walking to classes, remembering a familiar face,

catching you in the sea of people. 

Our Senior year of highschool:

We find eachother, across the classroom once more.

Smiles exchange all year, and on our prom night we find eachother...

once more. The warm bulb blooms into a relationship. 

Now, Across the country:

You train and fight for a world in constant turmoil,

as I stand at the mailbox,wondering," How did I become so lucky?"

I kiss the envelope goodbye. 

Across the country, I wait,

For a neatly sealed envelope, with the words "Semper fi."
