You’re my best friend, soul mate, my heart

My heart tore in half,

As I counted your steps away,

Waiting anxiously your safe return,

Our love seems to calm the day,

Fifteen minute phone calls,

Thirty minute chats,

Twelve months without you,

Time apart that we won’t get back,

I know that you have your orders,

And you take them all in stride,

I have my orders as well,

And I welcome them with pride,

No one said this would be easy,

The miles and distance apart,

But I wouldn’t have it any other way,

You’re my best friend, soul mate, my heart.
