Without you there

Missing you is like a spell
It makes it so I'm never well.
Memories of you lie everywhere.
Even when I touch my hair
I think of when you stroked it then.
I think back and remember when
You sat on my couch, not just in my heart.
Back to the very start
I know you're special, I love you.
But how can you remain true
Overseas not by my side?
Seeing you would take a ride
Twelve hours on a plane.
And then again,
I could not see you, even then.
I would have to wait til when
They send you back,
After attack.
I need you now.
I don't know how,
To make it through another sleepless night
Followed by a fearsome fight
With my mind to allow a smile
To cross my face just for a while.
I know I'll never love you less.
But to remove some of the stress,
From my heart, from my life
I must move forward with strife.
I may go on a date.
And though it may agitate
You to hear about the boy.
But you must realize he'll never bring the kind of joy
That you can bring with one touch, just one look.
You're the happy ending to my book.
Have no fear, I'm always near,
In your heart and in each dream.
If at times I may seem,
Happy without you there
Just know that if I searched EVERYWHERE
I could never find a man like you.
That's why I can't wait for you to
Come home to me
Let our lives be,
United at last.
Forget the past
I love you and you love me
And that's the way our lives are supposed to be.
