I found him, my prince,
With dog tags and a gun in his hand.
He's filled the hole in my heart,
And I know he'll put on my wedding band.
Even though I am completely in love with him,
I understand that nothing is set in stone.
I have accepted that he will leave again,
And I will be left alone.
I know some nights I'll have nightmares,
And some nights I just won't sleep,
Because he made promises to me,
That the Army couldn't keep.
When he's gone I'll always pray,
For his courage, loyalty, and safety,
Counting down the days,
Until he finally comes back home to me.
With every late night phone call,
And every letter we write and read,
I'll always be here standing by his side,
In all of his times of need.
I promise to be strong, loyal, and supportive to him.
My love will never break or bend.
I am completely devoted to him,
I am proud to say I am his Army Girlfriend.
