One late night as I talked to my soldier, he spoke to me of a day gone wrong and the anger he felt towards another comrade, and how much he wanted to laugh when his Sergeant did something wrong. I told him that night
"baby make sure to keep your cool and your poker face" he replied to my surprise"I always wear a poker face unless I think of you, see your picture, hear your voice, or name, Stacy is like heaven to my ears and at that point I cant quit smiling, and thats the only time I smile, when I'm remembering how much I love you. But I still can't figure out why you are in love with me."
I shook me head a smile seeming permanently there and replied to the man I love speaking from my heart for the first time in a long time.
"I cant explain why i love you, because love itself cannot be defined, like the feeling you get when you see a great masterpiece or even as you might be the strongest of the strongest warrior yet a poem brings you to tears, its what makes me want to wake up in the morning, but not want to wake up because in my dreams you are there, but I'm not afraid to open my eyes anymore because I know you love my back and protect me from any fears of being alone in my heart."
A year ago before he left for Germany his mom told him that he would one day find a good girl that didn't believe in divorce, knew how to love someone will all her heart, and would drive him crazy in a good way so that the moments never seemed long enough when he was with her..he told me he found me
And I'm glad I found him and that we could make this late night poem, that's embedded in my heart.
