Come Home To Us


Because I love you, I will kiss you goodbye

Every time you leave for work

Go to the store

Run to sonic to get me my craving of sweet tea

And before each deployment

 

Because I love you, I will do long distance

7,000 miles of love

Because I love you, I will cherish us

Each Facetime and each text message

 

Because I love you, I will be at each airport hello

And also the goodbye’s for the next few years

Until you come home for good

 

Because I love you, I want to

Come home to you

Laugh with you

Smile with you

Cry with you

Watch every Grey’s Antomy with you just to annoy you

Lay in your t-shirt, eating a bucket of ice cream and not feel an inch of guilt

 

Because I love you, I will help to make each day as good as I can

I will help to pursue our dreams

I will raise you up when you are down

Because I love you, I will encourgae you to follow your dreams

 

Because I love you, I will marry you

We will grow old together

We will have arguments

We will travel

We will build a family

We will create a life

Together

 

Becuase I love you, I will come home to you as you will come home to me.
