Far but Close to Me


You were thousands of miles away serving our country,

I was here making plans for my own life's way.

I was miles away when you came into my life unexpectedly,

Then you told me you are coming home in May.

We fell for each other despite the distance and hesitation,

And now all of my future plans involve you too.

So I will wait for you, care for you, be here for you, with no limitations,

Because the future has never looked this beautiful when I was without you. 

Until then I daydream about our life,

One filled with love, adventure, and making you happy.

And I look forward to the day when you are my husband and I am your wife.

because even though you're so far, you're the closest one to me.

<p>I knew this boy back in high school before he went into the Marines. He came back into my life unexpectedly about a year ago and the man he has become has stolen my heart. He is stationed in Hawaii and I have not seen him in person since high school. He makes me want to better myself as a person and I am looking forward to the day I can be with him when he comes home in the May of 2018 so we can experience this beautiful life together.</p>
